X-Com: Enemy Unknown

I'm surprised and saddened that there isn't already a topic on this game which released on Tuesday, but it definitely deserves some mention.

X-Com: Enemy Unknown is a re-imagining of the original X-Com: Enemy Unknown for the PC in 1994 and brings the spirit of the gameplay into the modern age. It's a turn-based tactical strategy game where you lead a squad of elite soldiers against aliens who are invading all over the Earth.

I've been playing this game since Tuesday, and it's fantastic. There are a lot of weighty decisions you have to make at every point, from what technologies to invest in, to how to keep your soldiers alive.
