Really hard to play, but because its gameplay is bad. A new game, but it looks and feels like a PlayStation 2 game. Get it if it's on sale for a laugh, otherwise don't bother with this one.

The spiritual successor to Armada 2525[doesn't exist].

Boring to me. I probably would have liked it well enough back in the day.

The bits and pieces thing makes no sense.

You are part of an elite squad who freeze time to move near cover and get shot in the head.

I guess they didn't play their own game, because there are obvious flaws. This would have been more fun if they got rid of the whole moving around like an RPG. Like the old X-COM ga-- oh wait, the old games are just better. Why was this game made?

Properly titled The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

A fauldschool resource game that would have made for a fine free Flash game, but is instead for-pay.

Fair.

The Koreans invade the United States, and you are a freedom fighter who hides behind invulnerable cover in an on-rails playable cutscene.

alt-F4 as soon as I was placed in a "home base" which forced me to RP-walk everywhere. Inexcusable.

A bog-standard 4X space game, but with a tiny font.

Overwhelming, and with an annoying interface.

A basic side-scroller beat-em-up.

Swings between too-easy and too-hard.

Like scrabble with words, assemble phrases to do varying degrees of insult-damage.

This definitely should appeal to some people, but it doesn't appeal to me. I think this would be especially attractive to people with an Android phone.
