Been a few more posts than usual of late. And since I often view but hardly
post I guess that means that some of you lot often do the same.

I have played a few of the xcom games and but my personal favourites are UFO
EU and TFTD. the others I have tried, I like less although I commend the
attempt to enhance the format.

Since you guys are far more hardcore, er,  'xcom-ers' (?!) I Just wondered
how you rated the games in the series? I'll give mine and you give yours,
yeah? And yes, this is a sad attempt to force more life into this ng :)

1.    UFO Enemy Unknown 9/10
loved this and played it on the Amiga 1200 and then bought it again on S1
2.    TFTD - 8/10
more of the same in many respects but once again a solid engine and much fun
for me on PS1
3.    XCOM Apocalypse - 7/10
many peoples favoured game but I little too much going on and it seemed like
2 different games
4.    XCOM Interceptor
only played the demo and was left non-plussed with it so I didn't buy it.
unfair for me to score it.
5.    XCOM Enforcer
Never played it.
6.    UFO Aftermath 7/10
Ok I admit I was genuinely excited about this one. When it came out I was
more than a little disappointed but for all its failings and impossibly
steep jump in difficulty I liked it because I got to play a half decent
rewrite of UFO EU.  Yeah, I realise it is not a true xcom game but it is
probably as close as we are going to get.  After hearing about the release
of UFO: Aftershock and Altar finally allowing combat within buildings, maybe
it will be even closer to what I'd hoped for the first time. Who knows?
