The rebirth of the cult classic X-Com series with last years XCOM: Enemy Unknown was well received by critics and consumers alike, with the gameplay proving that console strategy was far from dead and 2K Games backing the product confidently enough to see it making an impact at retail. The recently launched The Bureau: XCOM Declassified has shown that this is a franchise that has room to grow, but the reveal of XCOM: Enemy Within proved that its not all about direct shooting action.

By avoiderdragon:The good thing about turn-based games is that theyre fairly easy to learn how to play, but also gives players time to plan out their moves. That makes this genre good for both casual and hardcore fans, which is why even mobile platforms are inundated by turn-based titles. For instance, X-COM: Enemy Unknown that was originally for the PC and consoles was released for the iOS to much fanfare, and it worked brilliantly. Heres another one for mobiles, but its also not the usual turn-based fare.

Firaxiss excellent XCOM: Enemy Unknown proved that gamers were ready and willing to play strategy-focused X-COM games.

It never bodes well when the President of the company currently developing an updated version of the classic strategy game series X-COM publicly states that strategy games are just not contemporary. This belied the original intention and goes someway to explaining how The Bureau: XCOM Declassified has been in development since 2006 and was originally announced - in a very different form to that which it ended up - in 2010. What 2K Games have ultimately delivered is a third-person tactical shooter, adding to the XCOM universe as support to the fantastic XCOM: Enemy Unknown which was released in 2012 to critical and fan acclaim alike, despite it being one of those non-contemporary strategy games.

Just recently, Japan is starting to get titles such as Miku Miku Hockey for the PSVita.
