[Lobotomy Lobster]

Official Site
Developer: Goldhawk Interactive
Release date: Q2-3 2011

[Overview]
A remake of the original XCOM that has new content and doesn't suck, made to a commercial standard.


[Features]

• True to XCOM: All the key parts of the original including grand strategy, turn based combat and destructible terrain. It also has space marines with flamethrowers and jetpacks who will get terrified and turn on each other.
  
  
  
• New balance: New production and economy, more detailed air to air combat, new tech tree, different mission types and totally new AI.
  
  
  
• Commercial game: This is a fully funded, independant commercial game for cash monies. The team won't disband because people don't like their concept art and EA won't tell them to "just make a shooter".
  
  
  
• No bullshit: This isn't TF2 with flubber aliens that damage your regenerating health
