I want to tell you about an often overlooked game that I really enjoyed my time with.

The setting is AMAZING, you are in 1960s America trying to contain an alien invasion with your team.

It got a lot of flak because it used the XCOM name while being a completely different type of game and it definitely had some flaws (the gameplay reminds one most of Mass Effect 1) - but if you see it on sale somewhere give it a chance, I think you won’t regret it. If anyone else has played it, do share your thoughts :)

I've dusted off my PS3 and X360 and started playing some of these yellow metascore games from 7th gen, like Haze, Bodycount or Enemy Front.

The Bureau turned out the most fun out of them all, if I were to review it back in the day I'd probably push the score to like 7.5/10

Also fun fact: in the side mission with that Russian spy, Russian spoken by both Carter and the spy is complete gibberish
