Is it just me, or does this sound like a load of manure!! When are these things going to stop sounding like this. I've never even heard of these people.

It is hard to disentangle all the marketing speak and buzz words...some screenshots would really help. Altair made UFO: Aftermath which was moderately successful, so they have some form.

Corwin is angry.
I think it looks good minus the RT "action" combat, but I say that about everything. I would rather they had told more about the game than the graphics though. And any company that makes a game for deprived x-com fans is all right in my eyes. I just wish the smaller dev houses would cater more to the niche markets, like TB fans, because if they don't no one will.
