Xcom the original is a game I still regularly gush over at the very memory. Xcom the new game (Firaxis, not the 2K one which thankfully seems to have quietly slipped out of the party to stand on the balconey railing for a few moments, tears frosting on its cheeks from the cold winter wind, then silently throwing itself into the darkness, meanwhile the party continues with gusto behind the French doors, oblivious to the absent guest) looks like it may be everything I could ask for in a modern remake.

Fingers crossed it rocks on a turn based random scenario situation.
