Sectoids Are Back in New XCom: Enemy Unknown Screens

If it’s Thursday, it must be time to check out a whole bunch of hot-looking XCom: Enemy Unknown screenshots!

There’s actually no connection between Thursday and XCom: Enemy Unknown that I’m aware of, but I have space to fill. I do have a bunch of new screens to look at, though, so it’s not like I brought you in here for nothing.

Screenshots can’t tell you much about a game but what I see here has me pretty excited. Dark streets, dead bodies, alien scumbags and intrepid, heavily armed soldiers with foreign names and weapon hit percentages. Great to see the Sectoids back for the party, and that big image of the Earth with the reminders about the xenobiology research and the upcoming Funding Council report just about gives me chills. That’s XCom, baby! Here’s hoping they don’t screw it up.

XCom: Enemy Unknown is slated to come out in the fall for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
