<p><a href="http://kotaku.com/386976/ken-levine-and-co-at-work-on-new-x+com-game">I hear there are rumours on the internets that an X-Com title may be in the works</a>:</p><blockquote><p> The latest Official Xbox Mag is running a rumour that's been quietly - <em>oh so quietly</em> - doing the rounds for a few months now. That rumour concerns just what, exactly, 2K Boston (and I presume 2K Australia as well) are up to these days. With 2K Marin confirmed as the team behind BioShock 2, what could Ken Levine and the rest of the guys behind BioShock 1 be working on? Maybe a new X-Com game. Yes, <em>X-Com</em>. 2K quietly bought the rights to the series in 2007, so the rumour's at least got a solid footing, though we're still going to recommend you increase your daily intake of salt. If only because the thought of a new, official X-Com game is too awesome to mess around with.
</p></blockquote>Yay! Here's hoping that, on the extremly small possibility that this is actually happening, they're not afraid to stick to what made X-Com awesome. Turn-based combat. There, I said it. Not some hybrid half bastardised real-time with pause TB / RT option bullshit. Real, genuine, turn-based combat. Maybe finally I won't need to keep re-installing Terror From the Deep on mah PC just to get a decent game.<p>Spotted @ <a href="http://www.bluesnews.com">Blues News</a></p>
