Just started playing X-Com: Enemy Unknown and it's fuckin' sweet!
It's a great cross between turn-based combat missions where you have to perform different tasks (sweep an urban area and kill all aliens, rescue a VIP caught in an invasion, shoot down and then capture a UFO) and in between missions you have to manage your super secret alien defense base, expand it with new facilites, manage your money/influence with different governments, recruit new soldiers and kit them out with all kinds of sweet gear that you get from reverse-engineering alien tech.
Super addictive too... thought I'd give it a quick spin one afternoon and I ended up playing for about five hours.
You want some advice - lightning strikes once, it does not strike twice!
