    I've been dying to get my hands on this since it was announced but saw this trailer which shows the game in action. I quite liked the screenshots but the game in action looks really good.

    This actually looks to me exactly what a new X-com game should look like, if that makes sense. I'm really liking the ant-farm base element for example. I think they may very well genuinely improve on the classic games.

    Really, REALLY looking forward to this. Decent turn-based squad games are rare as point and click adventure games these days. Like how they are adopting a "move + action" approach, something I really liked about table-top squad games like Necromunda. That and the added depth in characters, such as cusromisation and skills available.

    Would like to see more than the "gas station" demo the early pics, vids and previews were based off, though. Its just would like to gauge the fog of war and how it affects play as its very absent in the stuff shown and something that really adds to the fear element of the originals.

    But thats me just being impatient.....
