In internet space no one can hear you scream (without a browser plugin)? (But everyone can read you troll?) The co-op sounds like a good time. Space Hulk is limited in controls (and AI) by its age. I thoroughly enjoyed it at least a decade and a half ago. Very, very, very difficult it is...

Way to aim high. I think it's that lack of actual substance that turns off people who wish for a little bit more even in cliched summer blockbusters. The deeper question is is that which I quote above all film-goers should reasonably expect for their money? Can't people expect (or demand?)...

Wow, all this money earned on cheaply-made multiplayer maps, maybe they'll put a decent single-player game out for CoD.

I agree, but it just isn't feasible to incorporate so many decades of history and continuity into a 2 hour film. Changes have to be made in order to create a narrative that (mostly) stands on its own. I suppose one could say there are good and bad ways to be unfaithful to the source material. I...

That still seems awful steep to me. I'd find it hard to justify paying more than 20 bucks US since it seems that all we get is an updated overlay.

Nice. Very nice.

Given such a steep departure from the original (and even the later real-time stuff), why even bother using the Xcom name? It seems like it'll only serve to alienate the old Xcom purist fans and new, potential customers could probably care less about the Xcom name. My guess is that, given the...

This is a lot of reiteration through and through, but Interplay sold off the property completely, minus the ability to reuse only the title Fallout devoid of prior game reference. Bethesda invested a lot of money into the Fallout property. A lot of money. Interplay looks to be trying to, as...

Speaking of timers in an adventure game, the less forgiving type to be sure, see Dark Seed. I have very fond memories of it, despite the difficulty.
