    I'm really enjoying Xcom on my Macbook, who needs sim city, I highly recommend this game for Mac. It's nice to have a few Mac Games on OSX :eek:

    What is it you like about the game? What kind of game is it, a shooter? What other popular games would you compare it to? HL2? How is the story?

    I could look online to find out more about it, but since we now a thread figure we might put some content in here.

    thanks

    That's...not how it works. Doing such basic research yourself would be a heck of a lot faster than waiting for replies on an Internet forum.

    Its alright. I stopped playing it after I realized how rigged it was. Started to miss way to many 100% shot chances for my liking... My understanding of a 100% shot chance would mean you would hit 100% of the time... not in XCOM's logic.

    Many reviews, including a highly trusted website to some, were posted last year during October. They will provide a whole lot information than this forum. No offense to the OP but one user's opinion will never be able to represent a summarization of a group of professional reviews. It's nice to see a new post in the Mac forums but I don't think this quite adds to the discussion of Apple and OS X products (especially since XCOM Enemy Unknown is available on OS X, Windows, the PS3, Xbox 360, and a rather simple and bad iOS port).
