baby arm Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 X-COM: UFO Defense is now a freebie on GameTap. This is a good way to give the game a try if you've been sleeping on it for the past 15 years or so, but act fast since the offer ends February 5th.

Zombie Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hmm, I tried downloading X-COM and a couple other free titles (such as Joust which was a fave of mine way back in the day). I downloaded and installed the gametap player first, then tried to start the download for X-COM. No dice, it says my video card doesn't have properly updated drivers or it isn't even supported. WTF!?! Why does it need a video card anyway? Stupid apps people come up with these days... Aaargh! Sure glad I never tried to purchase any downloadable games from sites like that. It's a good idea to test out whether you can even download the game while it's free. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadgerBadger Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 X-COM: UFO Defense is now a freebie on GameTap. This is a good way to give the game a try if you've been sleeping on it for the past 15 years or so, but act fast since the offer ends February 5th.I actually signed on tonight fo rno other reason than topost that it may not be news but X:EU is on game tap...so it's hardly news, and it's nolonger free ( it's part of the bundle of games you can play if you are a member. Some news, I knew irt wouldn't be , so much as - I'd like to htink maybe more people wil be exposed to the game - many newer gamers, of course, missed it - and despite the graphics being, uh, dated -I htink the gameplay (especially of Apoc, which broke me of my turn-based only snobbery) isstill unequalled. Here's to keeping our fingers crossed that renewed interest in the game - or, interest by a new generation, will lead to sufficient demand for a sequel.And then we can cross our fingers that they don't murder the franchise by turning into an RTS, or another FPS. Howdy; all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 A RTS would probably not be a good idea, but I don't think they'd consider it. A FPS, on the other hand, if well done, could be very entertaining, but I'd be happy to see a game like Alliance be made though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
