UFO Afterlight
Date undefinedIt is amazing that PCgamer and Windows Computing never have mentioned Cenega and their line of games, as they aren't too bad. Yes they differ from the old classic Xcom but enough to be enjoyable.
The game has two modes, the world mode, where you plan strategy, research new technology, and build on the planet Mars different things, such as mines. In the strategic mode, you are going on missions and fighting bad guys. You have to watch your space suits as they get damaged, as well as the medical status of your team in a program and go mode. And because you don't get many replacement soldiers you are constantly under the gun not to rush in or make suicide runs.
For the price I would recommend the game. It is fun, had a pretty decent story, and if you played the previous UFO: Aftershock, it ties directly into that story line.

Date undefinedOk, I've been sceptical towards a LOT of the newer x-com "remakes" or whatever you can call them. THey have been rather horrible in many ways and many try to capture the feel of x-com, but few have succeeded...if any at all. For some reason these games sounds good if you read about them, but always horrible to play. This game somehow didn't try to reinvent x-com feel and at first I thought it looked way to colourful and...well I didn't like the gfx and how things looked. I tried the game anyways and yes it was rather tough to understand how everything works, but when you get the hang of it it really pays off. It's sad to see people give it so low scores because of bugs. Strangely enough I haven't had any bugs besides the memory leak..and it's not that a big deal. This IS the best UFO game out there these days by far. The combat part is very challenging..and it gets better as you research different stuff. The world seems much more dynamic than any other UFO game I've played. But you won't notice until you've come a long way into the game. This has been the best gaming experience I've had in many many years. Hope more more comes along. if this is the first game of several then the next games must become classics.

Date undefinedTo be honest I haven't played the game, not because I don't own it but because they decided to go with Securom. So after installing the game it keeps asking for the disk. I patched the game and it keeps asking for the disk. I have a help support into Securom but so far there no response.
Its to bad I own all the other UFO's and was really looking forward to playing this one.
