Just wanted to mention that the first patch is out for the retail version of UFO: Aftershock. More information can be found here.

Nival just released a gameplay trailer for the upcoming Hard Trucks: Apocalypse that you can find here. Looks interesting...

Well, StrategyCore is a merge between UFOAftermath.co.uk, X-COM.co.uk and S2HQ.com. Sadly we haven't had time (or been too lazy) to add all the old content into StrategyCore. We're adding bits and pieces when we can, but it takes time. You should check out the X-COM content (and Aftershock if...

Yep, still coming. It was delayed, so I think current release estimate is Q1 2006. You can also find links to other interesting X-COM inspired games here. You might have heard of most, but it's worth a look. Also have a look at this. @Roshambo: I'll answer you later. No time right now.

Aftermath surely wasn't a fantastic game. That being said, a game inspired by X-COM doesn't have to be turn-based to be enjoyed by X-COM fans. Most would prefer it, but many still like or stomach S.A.S. Well, they didn't manage to copyright UFO for some reason. X-COM is the name of the...

If you can't stomach real-time with pause there's no way you'll like this game, that's for sure. Personally I prefer turn-based, but like the S.A.S. system as well. And ALTAR has a good reason for "ripping off X-COM". When they developed Aftermath they took over the project that the Gollops...

You can find information on the first reviews of UFO: Aftershock here. They are sort of positive... ;)

Nope. It's inspired by X-COM though. The demo was just released. List of mirrors here. It's sort of hard to get into the combat system at first (you can customize the pause feature in options), but when you do it's quite nice. I prefer turn-based, but...

UFO: Aftershock is just a week away from release, and today Cenega released the official English demo. You can find a list of mirrors here (281 mb).

I'm sure he'll put in a large grenade or five to entertain us ;)

You can read more about the background of the mod in this post.

Thanks Kotario!

Yeah, I heard it was a series. Didn't know that when I saw it. Any good? (if you've seen it that is)

Hmm, PocketMovies.net have some really good movies, and I can't recommend Tripping the Rift strongly enough.

Downloading it now. On a related note, I watched Prey Alone today. It is a short film as well, and it's excellent! There's an interview here, and you can download the movie here (the file seems to be down, you can find the original news post here).

Yeah, this review sucks. I only mentioned it because it's the first one I've seen. And it was quite amusing reading about Fallout the RTS :). The Amazon one seems good, thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, I weren't happy with the PKs either. And the other issues you mention are also points I agree with. Despite that I think the good points overshadow the bad ones. Excellent TB does make up most of the game, and the PKs aren't such a big issue until the end of the game. Also, the engine...

Yeah, JoWood surely did sneak the expansion out with a minimum of fanfare. You can get it from Play.com in Europe and GoGamer.com in the states for instance. The gold edition contains both S2 and S3, and S3 haven't been released by itself in Europe. @Lord Inquisitor Baboonius: Quite possible...

Good point. Didn't notice that one :) As for why you should care what GameSpy think PsychoSniper, any recognition S2 gets is a good thing IMO, even from GameSpy. Not that anyone should vote if they do not think it's worthy, but I think S2 is one of the very few good TB games of the last few...

Yes people, it's that time of the year. Snow and santa? Noooo, Game Of The Year! And Silent Storm have been nominated twice in GameSpy's poll! So why don't you run along and vote for it as best strategy and best overall right now! :) If anyone knows of more GOTY polls where S2/S3 is...
