X-C0M Enemy Unkown

So I would like to talk about the game X-COM Enemy Unknown since people who are good at stragity will like this game a lot.  You are a commander of a earth army which is like having a privet army that can get bigger.  If the start with the beginning tutorial then you have only one survivor from the mission and he is your heavy weapon expert.  On a side note if this soldier makes it to the end of the game there is an achievement for it.  Next is you choice where the base will be and if you did the tutorial then you can choice from North America or Europe.  If you don't do the tutorial then you can choose from Africa, Asia and South America.  Each of these bases gives you a different bonus. 
Then the real game begins combat is not hard but I do recommend you take your time on every mission no mater the difficulty level of the mission.  To do this only move up to the blue line every time and do over-watch, this ability allows your troops to watch for enemies and shoots them right away.  Now comes the resources for your base and there are 3 different resources money, scientist and engineers.  Money helps buy planes, troops, equipment and upgrades to your base and troops.  Scientist are need to do the research to upgrade your base and troops.  Engineers are need to upgrade your base with generators and weapons testing areas.  People will suggest to constraint on engineers and/or money, which are good ideas but if you forget about the scientist you will not be able to upgrade your base or your troops.  So just keep in mind all three resources are important so do not forget about a single one.
In combat you will start 4 soldiers until you upgrade up to 6 soldiers for every mission.  To increase your squad size one or more soldiers needs to be at a particular level and money.  So for good combat you should have one of every type of soldier and when you get to have 6 soldiers it is up to you what you want, I recommend once you have special troops put then in and troops that need training.  In the end it is up to you how you fight the aliens that have come to earth if you like fighting aliens I recommend the next game could be Defiance and that will be the next game I will write about in about a week.
