February's cover title for Game Informer was the exclusive announcement of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. No, this is not related to the first-person shooter reboot of XCOM that is also in the works, but is instead a separate reboot that will be a return to the classic strategy gameplay from the original games.
Game Informer also recently put up a sneak peek of Enemy Uknown's gameplay with plenty of screenshots to get you excited. It looks like you'll be taking control of a small squad of soldiers as you defend or attack various areas from alien attack. The game looks pretty incredible from the small glimpse, so definitely go check that out.

Additionally, it's really, really good to see a strategy game coming to consoles, especially the eggsbawks.
I don't think they could have given this to a better studio.
