I've only just started playing but this is ridiculously gripping. Command a squad of four men and women against a creepy alien invasion- shoot down UFOs, research their technology, build funky new gadgets and hi-tech bases, negotiate the priorities of international politics... oh yeah, and gun your way through a horde of aliens in some nail-biting turn-based combat which is (for me at at least) unforgiving in difficulty.

I started playing, and when I looked up again I had been playing for three hours without noticing. That is surely an excellent sign.
