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.
