This is the UFOpaedia.org mock main page. Its intention is to function as a duplicate of the main page. Members can fiddle with the structuring and formatting before implementing them on the real page. This page may be deleted in the future.



Welcome to Ufopaedia.org. (Insert rest of opening blurb here )


Insert catchy news box title here


* * * XCOM: Enemy Unknown Demo released today on Steam! * * *

All soldiers report to the hangar immediately! 2K Games announced today the release of a playable demo of XCOM: Enemy Unknown in antecipation of coming release of the game in October 9th (International) and 12th (US).

  • The Demo that consists of two tutorial missions, with a visit to the XCOM base between the missions.
  • It can be downloaded at Steam's page after 10AM (Pacific US time) or 18PM(GMT).
* * * XCOM: Enemy Unknown by Firaxis Games to release October 2012. * * *

X-COM fans rejoice! The remake of the 1994 classic UFO: Enemy Unknown (or XCOM: UFO Defense) will be released on October 9th, 2012 in North America and October 12th, 2012 internationally.

  • The demo of the game has been showed at for the E3 convention and there's a trailer called 'Last Stand' available at YouTube.
  • It will return the franchise to turn-based tactical combat with real-time management but instead of TUs, soldiers can perform two actions per turn: move and take a non-movement action or move twice.
  • In one of the lastest interviews, Jake Solomon, Lead Designer, has revealed that they first made a prototype using the TU system before deciding to use the new system.
  • Screenshots here, more info here.
  • Here is a compiled list of information and features from the 2K Games Forum, which includes a plethora of links to source articles and videos. The YouTube videos provide links to even more XCOM: EU videos via the related suggestions list to the side of the video.
* * * New XCOM FPS Game by 2k Marin has been delayed multiple times, release is late 2013 or 2014 at the earliest. * * *

The game will focus on elite U.S. government operatives attempting to prevent a nightmarish invasion of the United States (while dropping the dash in X-COM). See:

  • The official XCOM site (only a couple of trailers here)
  • Some criticism of its change in focus (1, 2), although 2k Marin may be rethinking this
  • 2k's XCOM forum, including passionate posts by X-Commies
  • Once slated for March 2012 release, it has now slipped to a later date (1, 2).
* * * X-COM Complete Packages now available for less than $15 * * *

At GamersGate, Steam and Direct2Drive. (Includes UFO, TFTD, Apoc, Int, and Enf).

For "reviews", see this.
