I realize that E3 was almost a month ago, but we're still cutting together the videos we shot for The Destructoid Show. This one (which, ironically enough, was the first video I did from the show floor) features me and that lovable scamp Anthony Carboni chatting about XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
"Turn-based" and "strategy" are two terms that usually make me zone out and start staring out the window out of boredom, but I'm really curious about XCOM. I think it's the action figure/playset aesthetic that the game's got going on. It seems more like playing G.I. Joes in my backyard than getting stuck in a seven-hour game of RISK.
Brett put up his preview of it a few weeks back, and you should go check that out too.
Actually I'm sorry. I know it's serious, I just get sick of people talking about how boring turn based strategy is. It indicates a short attention span.
Looks consolized. Looking more forward to xenonauts. Seems more like a pc title for grown ups than a streamlined game gunning for Call Of Duty players (developer said this btw).

I'll admit, when EA Sports' Andrew Wilson took to the stage during Microsoft's Xbox One reveal, I tuned out. If memory serves, I used the opportunity to take a much needed trip to the bathroom because I was certain there would be nothing there to hold my interest.
I was wrong. Hopefully, it's not too late for us.
