XCOM: Enemy Unknown reviews get all the scores here

XCOM: Enemy Unknown reviews have begun. The paranormal strategy game from Firaxis harks back to the classic days of turn-based strategic play, but with many modern twists that don’t pander to today’s standards. In other words, it’s awesome and hardcore. Get all the scores below.

@3

Sorry, this may sound dim, but is this a retail game?

Or a full priced release?

Would you guys like an XCOM buyer’s guide with the cheapest prices, like I did this morning with Dishonored?

Hey Dave, I think you got one score wrong, Gram.Pl gave it 9.5/10 – not 8/10.

Apparently they really got it right, I’m looking forward to playing this game.
A buyer’s guide would be nice, so we can just lean back and wait for you to find us the best offers out there :)

Thx!

Control/UI wise especially.
