X-COM Enemy Unknown to stalk the iPad and iPhone

The revitalized and revisualised version of the classic 16-bit turn-based strategy game X-COM will arrive on iOS devices this summer. Tweaked for a touch interface, it packs in all the action, development and is losing only a few maps (which could easily come as DLC) in the process.



No word, on what models it will run on, but if you've got an older iPad, this could be the excuse you need to upgrade to one of the newer, more powerful models. The big question is price, will it match the PC and console version, or will 2K look to sneak in some in-app purchases to off-set a cheaper cost?

Hunters 2 to sate your tactical iPad gaming lust

Hunters was awesome, so there's every reason to expect the sequel to offer even better tactical turn-based strategy. With a new hardcore mode and perma-death, as if the first one wasn't tough enough, a huge array of new weapons and enemies plus more campaigns, its the modern home for X-Com fans until the real remake turns up.




The new game is having a launch sale at only £2.99/$4.99 so get going for some serious gaming, there's no mention of a hi-res mode for iPad 3 owners, but the original looked pretty decent on my 4S.
