Angry Joe reviewed this game and even said that the original Xcom was his #1 favorite video game of all time. He also gave the game a very positive rating. I was pretty much sold at that point, after hearing all of the good things he had to say about it, and also because I LOVE Angry Joe (if you don't know who he is, then shame on you). Unfortunately, when I went to try out the demo on the Xbox Marketplace, I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't because of the game, but because my TV is too freaking small and I can't read any of the text. Also, the gamma is still too dark at max brightness. Still, it's just my TV's fault. This is the same thing that happened with Skyrim, only worse. At least Skyrim was playable.
It's times like these that make me wish I had the money for a new TV. Oh well. Oh, and if you're wondering, the TV I'm currently using in my room is a tiny Hitachi CRT TV with an extremely low amount of bells and whistles. Thing is an ancient hunk of junk, but it works for playing Halo at least.
I'm still extremely curious about this game, though, and I will try the demo out again in a few years when I'm actually able to get a new TV
