    Perfect timing after the announcement today.
    pcgamer.com/201…on/

    A new X-COM game, not the horrible FPS spin-off that is also coming out.

    Epic! My name will be in the credits for at least three of these

    I really hope the proper new X-COM game outsells the FPS one - that'll show the "suits" what they know about gaming...

    You were being sarcastic and completely ignoring the point of people only … You were being sarcastic and completely ignoring the point of people only voting hot because it has steam in the title, the original deal was alot better and still is better priced and yet it hardly got any heat.



    Some people, myself included, generally only buy PC games through Steam. So yeah, that might have been a good deal, but I'd rather pay slightly more for what is still a good deal and have the convenience of having it with all my other games. Nothing to do with being a 'steam sheep' I like the service, and it's convenient.

    No one said the other deal wasn't hot. It was. The fact is convenience is taken into the equation, if money is the only motivating factor for you, great. But don't say it has nothing to do with the deal because it definitely does. How many people complain about great deals because they're from pixmania? Doesn't stop the deals there being lower priced, but most people would rather pay slightly more from somewhere else more reputable. And I'm not saying the other place selling the games wasn't reputable, just that most people prefer to deal with steam.

    ^^ Thanks for the link about the new game - was aware of the FPS spin off one, but not the one from Firaxis - lets hope for a proper sequel, and the Civ guys haven't got a bad record for that sort of thing

    Good price for the XCOM collection, though it has been in previous Steam sales.

    XCOM UFO Defence (aka Enemy Unknown) and TFTD are the original turn based games, while Apocalypse introduced a mixture of real time with pause when you like combat. Interceptor was a space combat spin off that I enjoyed but had mixed reactions. Enforcer was a very poor shooter spin off.

    Loved these games, and at this price can't resist!! Hurrah, looking forward to playing on my new Dell i bought a few days ago and my new 24" LED monitor i bought from Amazon.

    Might be tempted to get these. I have the originals somewhere in a box.
    Last time I tried to play XCOM: UFO Defense, I could not slow the computer down enough to be able to control the world screen. Has this been fixed, if so will get.

    Can I run it in window7?
  14. deleted357121's avatar
    Works fine under win7 using dosbox or using the pre-prepared one steam comes with (may need tweaking).

    I totally agree. In principle there is no difference buying from Steam as the game registers with Steam anyway.

    This is amazing news. Apocalypse was epic for its generation, and still very playable now!

    What's the point of being rude? I never said it wasn't still cheaper. Looking on Google the Steam version uses Dosbox to play the games properly on modern computers plus if you have Steam and not Gamersgate, what's 56p for convenience?

    I agree. Sure, you can get them a bit cheaper elsewhere but then have to download them all, install them all, link them all into Steam and then manually update them all if any patches come out. Steam takes care of all this.

    Don't get me wrong, if there was a massive price difference I'd consider it, but I'd rather pay the couple of quid extra for the Steam versions. Great prices everywhere for this though, especially as the new game is coming - more devs should do this!

    for fans of the original, might be worth mention Firaxis have announced a remake of the game to come out this year along with the other prequel one that 2k are making, the main difference being Firaxis are keeping it strategy based (possibly using the same new engine) unlike the FPS one, AND julian Gollup is on-board with its development AND they are doing two... hopefully a HD Apocalypse too then?

    As UFO was the game I bought a PC for (back in the Amiga hayday) I'm very glad to see people still like this game.

    I dare say people have stopped visiting this thread, but a few people seem to be missing the point. Some are saying 'but if I want to pay more on Steam that's up to me' with various reasons.

    Well Captain Obvious, you are Correct!

    But that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not this is a hot deal, and I for one can't see how a deal where the exact same product can be bought from elsewhere for less can be called a hot deal.

    Damn I didn't see that, I am going to wait. these games are likely to pop up again (if it does can someone send me a pm in case I don't see the deal).
