This game is awesome. I'm a few missions in. I've been lucky to not have anyone die yet, and I don't know how I'll feel when my first officer bites it.

I've had my eye on this game for a while and finally downloaded the demo on PS3. Loved it. I'll probably buy it at some point.

This is the first turn-based strategy game I've ever played, though, and I fear getting too overwhelmed once the missions really start to develop.

I'm addicted to this game. About to finish the game for the first time on normal. Will be trying a classic ironman run next.

It's been sitting in my downloads list and I think now's the time.

No streaming, no real screenshots but I might be able to piece together a small playthrough with text, pics and videos to share with you guys.

I think you can still DL it off of PS+ for free if you have a subscription.

Keep in mind that it needs 10+ gigs of Hard Drive space to run on the system though.

Dunno how cheap it is on Steam but you could probably run it on your laptop if the specs match up as well.

Downloaded it a while ago on PS3. Then got into MLB, then Madden again, then NCAA, then Saints Row, now inFamous.

Enjoy the backlog XCom

Well, this sucks for PS3 and 360 owners regarding the Enemy Within expansion:

XCOM: Enemy Unknown's expansion, Enemy Within, will be issued as DLC on PC and Mac for $30, but the only way to get it on consoles is through a new Commander's Edition – a retail re-release that includes the XCOM: Enemy Unknown game, the Slingshot and Elite Soldier add-ons, plus the Enemy Within expansion.

The reason for issuing the Commander's Edition is because Enemy Within is simply too large a file to patch into the console game as DLC. "For the expansion on the PC, it was fairly straightforward," Garth DeAngelis, senior producer at Firaxis Games, said during a PAX Prime interview. "But when it came to the consoles, it was too big. If we wanted to deliver the same content to the console players, we had to do it this way as a standalone expansion on a disc. We couldn't simply just patch it in."

DeAngelis added that Enemy Within includes so many changes to the base XCOM: Enemy Unknown experience – new unit types, upgrades and even skill changes – it necessitated an entire re-issue of the game. "These things are tied deeply into Enemy Unknown so we wanted to release [the Commander's Edition] as sort of the ultimate edition, with all the previous DLC on this one disc. It was either deliver it this way or not deliver it at all."

XCOM: Enemy Within, announced at Gamescom nearly a week ago, launches on November 12.

I really wish they could find SOME way to bring this to consoles that doesn't feel so much like I'm being bent over. Even if you cut a disc like DA: Awakenings, or hell, make it downloadable but explain that you need the original to play. I don't buy this "We couldn't do it!" The precedent is there. I understand that you want to be able to include it all in the original game, but it still seems grimey.
