Falling Skies

[Rayfer]

Saw this on the RPS site...alien invasion game using the Xcom: Enemy Unknown engine. Trailer shows only tactical combat and the various enemy types.  http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/09/22/x-comparisons-inevitable-falling-skies/#more-235057

Games based on movies are usually pretty bad.  Games based on TV series are generally terrible. Maybe it will be good, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

When I first started watching Falling Skies my first thought was that it would make an incredible XCOM mod.  But 1 week's notice on a licensed property from an unknown developer means Jarhead is probably right.  I see great suckitude here.

Yeah.  It may not suck since it's pretty much a mod of a good existing game.   Unless they screw something up in the process...
