Based on a board game that I have never played. It feels like a straight port of the game.

One of the early games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Take the role of space marines to fight orcs and genestealers in turn based combat. Solid gameplay and cool isometric action view.

Fun game were you fight aliens that try to take over earth. The story is that aliens starts attacking earth and a covert force (Xcom) is formed to combat the alien threat. You goal is to manage XCom, find and hunt down UFOs and steal their technology and use it to create new and better weapons. Then you need to find the enemy bases on earth and destroy them all. All while keeping every country in the world happy and make sure that your own bases are safe from the aliens.

The game is turned based and made up of two major areas, one strategic when you mange your bases and hunt search for UFOs and one tactical when you attack a downed ufo or base. Research is very important as you get better weapons to battle the aliens and the most fun of all the weapons is the blaster launcher. When you get it there will be more Phone home from those extraterrestrial bastards.

Cute worms with guns and grenades. Great fun.

This is the second X-Com game and it s not really that different from the first one. A new form of alien is now attacking from below the oceans and the battle takes place under water with some combat on ships. The game is more difficult than the first one also so you really need to work to get anywhere.

Worms with guns is always a good thing and the concrete donkey must be one of the best weapons ever made

More worms, more guns :)

Great game that really capture the feel of the old 1994 game so i recommended this to anyone that liked the old ones. There is also a expansion called XCOM: Enemy Within. It adds some new elements such as the MEC trooper and a new human enemy faction to the game. The optimal mix for me was two MEC’s, two genetic soldiers and two human soldiers on each mission. Play it. Play it Now.

Sail the seas one turn at the time.

Tactical top-down shooter that was fun until noticed that enemies only see you after you have seen them.

The first XCOM is better as all the timers annoy me in this one. There seems to be clocks counting down or up everywhere. I enjoy building my base and sneaking around shooting the aliens in the face. It's hard when there is always a timer that makes it a rush. The War of the Chosen expansion has a mod called Avatar Be Gone that removes the worst timer and it is also possible to lengthen some of the timers in the expansion. Without the mod I would not have played this game at all.

Play worms with tanks, helicopters and mounted weapons.
