I think I might go on and try Terror after I've finished with XCom - enemy
unknown, I bought a pack with Xcom, Terror, Apocalypse, Interceptor and
email, think at the time it was about Ł20, well worth it :) (I've since seen
it for Ł5 arrghh).

As for buying the dead aliens, I always assume it's the media for some
reason (???).  I think at the moment I have like 45 sectoid corpses, think I
need a clear out!
Just had my first Muton mission, those buggers are hard skinned, much prefer
Ethereals who die when you parp at them :P

Grippy.
