More X-Com: Enemy Unknown for PC screenshots. From what I'm seeing, it's a simplified version of the original X-Com. What they really need to improve from the original is the AI, UI, game balance, and bugs/stability issues. I honestly don't have much hope for this game. The mechanics and difficulty are being dumbed down, and the developers are cluelessly referencing Dark Souls as a difficult game instead of anything from this list. If anything it will be a generic, easy, simple, and streamlined tactics game for mass market appeal.
With all the attention on X-Com, I learned about a commercial X-Com style tactics game called UFO Legacy Defense: Xenonauts. It will probably be closer to the original X-Com than the reimagined Enemy Unknown (with a cleaned up UI, of course). Looks pretty good.
2nd Super Robot Wars Z Saisei-hen for PSP will be released on 4/5/2012. This is likely to be the PSP's last big tactics game release. It's likely going to be a relatively easy game like Hakai-hen, but I expect the production values and scenarios to be good. Here's an article in Famitsu with some screens.
In this article a computer algorithm is used to solve Sudoku puzzles efficiently and find complex patterns. Just another example of how computers could theoretically solve or play strategy games much better than humans in the future.
More Pokemon x Nobunaga's Ambition screenshots and info. I really want nothing to do with Pokemon so I won't be discussing it much if at all. Apparently it's getting its own press conference.
