If you've never played this game and enjoy turned based action/strategy games, then this is the one for you. This is one of my all time favorite games to this day. The premise of the game is simple. You are in charge of taking care of alien invaders. You start by forming a base of operations. The Earth is visible as you are able to rotate and spin to find the place where you would like to set up camp. Your base has a basic radar system in place that helps track UFOs in your immediate area. When an alien vessle is detected, you must launch an attack ship, or wait for the alien craft to land. Once the alien craft has landed, you send a military team to investigate. You will need 2 save slots, one for the exterior map, and one for the battles. If you are not careful, you can lose your team within a few turns. Once you get the hang of the combat, and learn all about Research and Manufacturing of developed technology, you'll really have a great time. This game competes with my playtime with most of my PS3 games. That says a lot. It's a great game and it comes with my highest recomendation. Enjoy!Read full review
Such a classic turn-based game. Can be very difficult and challenging, but addicting. Stop the alien invasion, study their technology and build your own alien based weapons. Upgrade your Characters and hunt down the Alien Scum!!

I have played a ton of games in the time that i have been alive, ranging from the FF series to the God of War series. There a lot of great games out there, but there are only a rare few epic titles some of which have flown right under the radar. X-Com is one of those games. I can't mention one bad thing about it, some would say the graphics are too old school but i honestly believe otherwise. I love today's flashy graphics as much as the next gamer, but i think this games graphics hold substance. but other than the debatable graphics, the rest of the game is flawless. i can't give this game enough praise, i could try but i would not be successful.
Classic PS1 game plays well while entertaining with nostalgia and simple fun.

Final Fantasy Tactics was an outstanding game that helped launch tactics/strategy games of its sort into the main stream. Before that game graced our playstations though, a sleeper hit in the same genre slid under most gamers radar. That game was X-com: UFO Defense. This port title of the PC game stands apart from other tactics games still due to its mixture of strategy and turn-based tactical battles. To be successful, players need to build on to their base, research new technologies, manage troops and supplies and generate income. These additional features give this super rare gem a step up on todays tactical titles.
