Replay – X-COM
If you weren't playing strategy PC games in the '90s, chances are you're most familiar with X-COM as that weird alien invasion-focused first-person shooter that BioShock 2 developer 2K Marin is working on. The pedigree for this game goes back much further and to a completely different style of gameplay. Does it still hold up today?
Please join myself, Andrew Reiner, Ben Reeves, and the newest addition to the Game Informer staff, Jason Oestreicher, in our first ever PC Replay. We look back at the original X-COM: UFO Defense and find out how long our fleshy human soldiers can last after they leave the safety of their jet.
Want to see the Game Informer staff struggle futilely at other classic games? Check out the Replay hub for all you could ever need! Want more info on the X-COM series? Look for a GI Classic feature all about it in the upcoming December issue of Game Informer.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
