You almost feel bad for the folks at 2K Marin as
The Bureau:XCOM Declassified has gone through multiple gameplay iterations, a name change, several delays, a disjointed advertising campaign, and then gets released the same week as several big name games.. It's a shame because the game actually looks like a great addition to the XCOM universe as this launch trailer shows.
I'm still digging the art style of the aliens and flipping the timeline back to the 1960's works on a couple of different levels for me but at the same time it's hard to ignore the fact that it's going out the same week as
Saints Row IV,
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and
Disney Infinity. Look for our review in the near future.
