New X-COM game on the horizon...

The price is an issue for me. 29.99 for preordering an indie game seems too much. If it were around 15 I'd preorder it right away.

You can get it through kickstarter for $20:

I'm going to have to stop looking at stuff like this or I'm likely to start getting a little excited, and I just can't let that happen. I want to play this with just the expectation it's going to be an interesting turn based game, and try really really hard not to compare it to the original masterpiece.

Got to say though, I'm definitely now beyond just intrigued by this one, I can't help it.

Very hard not to feel there's possibility when the guy talking to you says in the interview he got into game programming BECAUSE of the original....

Rock Paper Shotgun's coverage has totally sold me on the game. Also the developers seem like they're not totally awful AAA zombies.

Things have been a bit too quiet on this front of late, what's going on?!

Now that is a shame, happened all too often for me in the original....
