Ok, seriously... When I first heard about this game, I was mega sceptical about it being an FSP game. As most of you know, I'm getting very bored with the masses of mediocre FPS games out there. That was before I saw this!

And all I can say is... WOW... I honestly thought that the new XCOM FPS was going to be another Halo clone. But check this out, you play as a detective and a police man who's first mission is to go into a woman's house because she rang the police saying she saw a monster. But just look at this, an FPS based on 1950s American Surberbia, sure there's Fallout 3 which is "sorta" based on the same setting, but before the Fallout. Even so, I love 50s decor and theme, plus the Detective and police team up makes up for all these annoying millertary FPS games that multiply like rabbits.

2K, I salute you!

Looks alright, I'm hoping for a little more variety in enemies instead of black ooze, the setting is cool though and it does look intense. But in terms of detective/police (procedural) theme, I don't think it will beat the Condemned series. Condemned perfected the procedural FPS.

Yeah, it looks good so far, but you should see some comments made about the game on other websites. They're another reason why I hate humanity.

As a fan of the original XCOM games... this looks like complete ****. Screw you 2K, this is not XCOM.

So is my friend, he's been a big fan since Terror from the Deep (the second game) and he kinda likes it though he wished it was a turn based strategy game.

Looks very interesting so far. I think i had read that it was going to be more of a standard "Halo-ish" game originally, then they scrapped their early plans and went in the direction they did.

She-Ra is awesome. If you believe otherwise, you are clearly wrong.
Urban Champion is GLORIOUS.

Hey, is it me? or did they not show any more details of XCOM this E3?

Or did I miss out?

When I first heard reviews/comments about this game, I imagined it would be very inspired by the Call of Cthulhu mythos. After watching the trailer, it appears that I am sadly mistaken.

100% agree. I was very disappointed when I saw the trailer.
