This is a game that looks surprisingly like X-COM, but the site is pretty poorly done (i.e. tons of spelling errors).  The game launched on May 1, and I'm debating checking it out, if only because my copy of UFO Gold runs like ass on my new laptop.

Here's the site.  Their forums seem to indicate that it's rather buggy, so that's kind of a big disincentive for buying at this point, IMO.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

After it's patched up and I'm not on my Cripple PC, I'll try that out. Looks hot.

I'm also tempted, but I agree with you on the patching.  I was really turned off by teh site typos, but a deeper look leads me to believe that English may not be their first language.

Is this related to that UFO: Freedom Ridge I was following for a short time about a decade ago?

Now that I'm home I can check out their site. Looks great - X-Com: 2007.

I'll let you guys playtest it for me in the meantime though.



...did anyone else spot ED-209 in one of the screenies?  smiley
