What's Happening

Test Chamber – XCOM: Enemy Unknown

The GI crew sits down with Firaxis' almost-released tactical strategy game and show off what happens when XCOM finally gets its hands on laser weapons.

Jason Oestreicher takes the sticks, Andy Reiner hosts, and Adam Biessener drops hard-earned knowledge from his dozens of hours of playtime on the game.

From the hub that collects our buckets of XCOM: Enemy Unknown stories from when we revealed it on the cover, to Adam's exhaustive writeup of the first three hours of the game, to the final word in review form, GI has all the XCOM you could possibly want. There's also the Test Chamber hub, where you can find all the episodes we've ever recorded.

  • Now if only Steam would let me Pre-load this game, I'd be set for the 9th.

  • Sweet! I pre-ordered this game last night after I learned Amazon is giving a $15 credit. Not to mention I was eye-balling this game for a while. I've never played the original but I'm hyped for it because the original is held in such high regard till today.

  • already preordered for pc xD

    but it really hurt to watch you try to get your team killed T.T

  • Hmmmm definitely need to watch this, was curious about buying it.
  • Game looks incredible.

    Congrats A-Stryker, you broke the AI.

  • well *** this looks awesome, i need some help, this or dishonored?
  • Well, that settles it.  I need to get this game.

  • This test chamber makes me want that game so much more
  • I think this video is what I needed in order to convince me that this game is going to be awesome. I may go preorder it today.

  • Thus, I work my face off to buy this game...then do some more working to get Borderlands...meh..give me money!!!

  • Yes!

  • Okay, you guys get games early, we get it.  Stop rubbing it in.

  • I wouldn't really play this myself but I'd watch you guys play this for hours.

  • would have been a better video if you guys had Adam playing his game instead. i get that you guys were just messing around, kinda just showing what Xcom is all about but honestly was annoyed with a bunch of his choices(letting the one dude bleed out).
  • I'm just sad that there are so many games coming out in October and that I chose to wait on XCOM. :(

  • pretty sweet

  • This looks really fun, but I'll have to pass. Too many other games I'd rather get.

  • This game looks really awesome, I think I may rent it.

  • Holy crap, why haven't they made a turn based Warhammer 40k game like this? The tabletop game plays almost exactly like this, its crazy how similar it plays to it. Come on THQ....now is your chance.
