October 8, 201213 yr Im still busy at work. Anyone got an idea what the overall reviews think? Not that i trust any of them, but.
October 8, 201213 yr Quick - somebody cut off Ze Yanks from the Internet pffft. I've a will of mythril, boy! I've yet to look at any of the reviews/previews/etc. I want an unsantized opinon when I start dying horribly because I STILL suck at XCom after all these years!
October 10, 201213 yr Argh! Them pesky aliens are clearly tampering with the laws of physics!!! Time is passing sooooooooooo slowly this week :-/
October 10, 201213 yr Quick - somebody cut off Ze Yanks from the Internet BTW, I hear there is a way to persuade Steam that you are an American and have XCOM unlocked NOW. You need to log in through some American server or something... I'm not too bothered by the delay, so I have not read the details.

I'm not too bothered by the delay, so I have not read the details. I don't fancy Steam then finding out and revoking access to my entire library if they didn't see the funny side though
October 10, 201213 yr Okay, so I finally rid myself of a long-standing distraction. I uninstalled Star Trek Online. It was affecting important things I was supposed to be doing and like most MMO's there's not much to do when you're at the top but wait for more content. Now I have 2 days to get heaps of work out of the way before a most distracting weekend
October 10, 201213 yr I don't fancy Steam then finding out and revoking access to my entire library if they didn't see the funny side though It involves setting up a VPN to American based servers, various bits of software you can download to make the process easier. Supposed to be fairly common in Australia where people often have to wait much longer for release dates, or their government have banned games. Rumour has it valve tend to turn a blind eye to it unless you are buying games cheaper by fooling steam into thinking you are based in a different territory. Personally like you I'm not taking the risk!
October 10, 201213 yr Through proxy you can 'unlock' the game. By the way - you sure Pete that steam group is public ? I can't still find it.
October 10, 201213 yr "Diary of a wimpy squad" has RPS introducing you to the team they will be taking through the new XCOM in Classic IronMan. Poor souls... :: Edit: Also, we're told of emergent stories in XCOM at VG 24/7. And, IGN airs their XCOM Starter Guide wiki.
October 11, 201213 yr Also, an X-com addict has just played the game for about 18 hours and given a review! He plays through for about 45min in the middle of his 6th game. (He lost the first 5!)
October 12, 201213 yr You know how big XCOM must be when it is the focus of an article on the BBC website https://m.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19909928
November 28, 201213 yr "I think Firaxis has done a great job," Julian Gollop told me. The legendary designer of X-Com and Laser Squad has recently settled jumped ship from Ubisoft to work solo on remaking his 1985 design Chaos from his bedroom in Bulgaria, but the new XCOM has taken a good chunk of his time. "The game is addictive and absorbing, not to mention quite challenging on the classic difficulty setting." :: Eurogamer also caught up with Jake Solomon in this same article, here.
