Biography
Architect turned architectural illustrator I played the first XCOM: Enemy Unknown game way back in the 90s and I loved it. In fact I must have almost completed it! Also got the undersea one but I didnt like that so much although the on-ship missions where really scary I seem to remember - all those tiny rooms - not good for the nerves!

Very interested to see a new game along the lines of the old one. Not so sure about the current technology though, rather than the futuristic elements of XCOM: EU.

I havent played the other new XCOM game yet but I might give it a shot if the price ever comes down - I know I probably wont like it much though.

Game Lacks "wow factor"

Nats replied to Knightpt's topic in Xenonauts General Discussion

From what I have seen, and I dont own the game, the aliens do look pretty lame. But then again they looked flaming terrible in XCOM Apocalypse and I played that game for ages. I will be keeping an eye on this game and when it gets relatively bug free and more playable I will be probably buy then although I am not entirely sure I could play a turn based strategy game like XCOM:EU again - I seem to remember it being painfully slow. But thank you for doing this game anyway, we need more of these sorts of great niche games. What with Kerbal Space Program and Minecraft now, and with Xenonauts, Space Citizen and Elite Dangerous coming up, PC gaming is starting to look a lot brighter than of late! It was getting to the point where if I saw one more glossy multicoloured FPS or free to play multiplayer game I would have kicked my computer down the stairs in disgust.
