No series has defined the past and present of turn-based strategy more than XCOM. The Firaxis-made games in the series, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2, are two of the best games of the last decade. The whole series, which dates back to the mid-'90s, is one of PC gaming's most beloved, even with its history of forcing us to make painful decisions and the questionable third-person shooter ...

Every other Monday, Dominic gives you a reason to dust off one of your old games and dive into its mods with Modder Superior.

Over at GOG, the reduced-price trips down memory lane continue, only this week there s a whole lot more X-Com. Specifically, this week s GOG sale range focuses on a lot of 2K s older franchises, particularly from the strategy genre. The entire original run of X-Com games can be found here for less than 2 / $2 each, which is nigh-impossible to not recommend. Then there is the 2004...
