When XCOM 2 was announced just before E3, I was surprised to hear it was coming out this year With such little build up for a sequel to a beloved franchise, it felt a little too low key an announcement. Well, 2K will now have a little bit more build up to play with as the[...]

I got to see a bunch of XCOM 2 at E3 this year, and… well, it was a lot of XCOM It is pretty much what you would expect from a sequel to the game, only this time, it had a lot more scripted 'cut-scene' type interjections. If they work as advertised, that is exactly the[...]
