Thorondor Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'd say they average to something like 9/10. Not bad, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Quick - somebody cut off Ze Yanks from the Internet BTW, I hear there is a way to persuade Steam that you are an American and have XCOM unlocked NOW. You need to log in through some American server or something... I'm not too bothered by the delay, so I have not read the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't fancy Steam then finding out and revoking access to my entire library if they didn't see the funny side though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Okay, so I finally rid myself of a long-standing distraction. I uninstalled Star Trek Online. It was affecting important things I was supposed to be doing and like most MMO's there's not much to do when you're at the top but wait for more content. Now I have 2 days to get heaps of work out of the way before a most distracting weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorbicol Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I don't fancy Steam then finding out and revoking access to my entire library if they didn't see the funny side though It involves setting up a VPN to American based servers, various bits of software you can download to make the process easier. Supposed to be fairly common in Australia where people often have to wait much longer for release dates, or their government have banned games. Rumour has it valve tend to turn a blind eye to it unless you are buying games cheaper by fooling steam into thinking you are based in a different territory. Personally like you I'm not taking the risk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Through proxy you can 'unlock' the game. By the way - you sure Pete that steam group is public ? I can't still find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorondor Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 "I think Firaxis has done a great job," Julian Gollop told me. The legendary designer of X-Com and Laser Squad has recently settled jumped ship from Ubisoft to work solo on remaking his 1985 design Chaos from his bedroom in Bulgaria, but the new XCOM has taken a good chunk of his time. "The game is addictive and absorbing, not to mention quite challenging on the classic difficulty setting." :: Eurogamer also caught up with Jake Solomon in this same article, here.
