XCOM Release Date Anounced… Sadly

One of my favorite games during the PlayStation 1 era was XCOM: UFO Defense. A game that pits the player (a global agency) vs an invading alien army. Build world wide bases, intercept alien craft, collect technology and alien captives… and take the fight to the aliens. As you can see above, the game has went from a base building, turn based strategy game; into a first person shooter story. I for one… am not very excited. To me too many games are going to a first-person shooter game and away from anything that requires brainpower.

Non-the-less, the new XCOM release date is March 6, 2012. Am I the only one that isn’t very excited? Do you like that they are going away from the traditional alien enemy in favor of …. mass-effect geth type technology that turns humans into mech-zombies (that is what it looks like from previews)?
