UFO:Extraterrestrials gone gold

Gold Announcement
Game site

I'm not too familiar with how the game actually is, but a cursory look seems to indicate it's at least more faithful than the Afterxxx games, but I'm not too sure how it compares to Alien Invasion (currently at 2.1)

I'm always happy to see more UFO-style games, and I haven't been very impressed with the AfterXXX games.

It was supposed to have been released Monday, but it got pushed back two weeks to 1 May. Anyway, it's an exact copy of the X-COM series in all but name, setting (different planet) and fluff so I'm all for it.

Is it just me or did anyone else think when seeing that picture on the main site 'Cylon vs Space Marine'?

Do my eyes decieve me or is there a screenshot witha robot/power armor that looks suspiciously like the OCP creation that killed a board member in Robocop?

Goddamn I can't wait for this. I'm sick of using "Turbo" to play old UFO.. Even though part of me is going to miss the fact that I no longer have the layouts of all the alient craft and terror sites memorized.

So is this considered an X-Com/UFO update, or is it stand alone?

Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know...tomorrow."

Stand alone, of course. Read the plot. :P
