Interesting lineup of games here!

>* Grand Theft Auto 4 (replay)
    I'm maintaining my boycott of all things GTA:  still no interest.

>* Dead Space 2 (replay)
    Strong urge to replay this trilogy (or the first two at least), as plot 
details have faded enough from memory to make it somewhat fresh.  Think I 
played 1&2 3 times each in a row to get to unlock the hardest difficulty.

>* Line of Sight Vietnam (replay)
    Vietcong was so exceptional, the movement mechanics unequalled, the 
combat so visceral and satisfying, that I have no desire to even attempt 
another vietnam-based game, nor have I ever heard of a title that approaches 
it.

>* The Bureau XCOM Declassified (replay)
>* X-COM Enforcer (replay)
    I've had this strong feeling for a while now, that The Bureau would be 
good introduction for me to the XCOM world, as I was pretty much lost and 
clumsy in the hour or two I put into Enemy Unknown.  And I've never even 
heard of Enforcer, thanks for the overview!
