yea, it's a pretty cool game, actually. Some of the level design is simply inspired. It's really hard, though.
However, I'm annoyed with it, so I played Xcom again.
I forgot how addicting this game is. Anyway, I'm seriously just whooping up on the aliens. I have 5 retaliators and 2 of the really big ships just hovering over the city. Anything shows up and I blow the crap out of it. I'm also mass-manufacturing the personal shields, so I don't really care any more if people have their shields knocked out. And with the xcom armor, it takes a LOT for someone to die. I actually screwed up and had one of my agents go 1 on 1 with a megaspawn. Well, they both died, but that's pretty impressive IMO.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
