So, Xcom Enemy Unknown has finally finished downloading and I've played a bit.My word, I didn't expect to care about my soldiers as much as I did on Ironman mode. I remember my Assault, nicknamed by me 'Blitzkrieg' being saved from a Floater by the Sniper, nicknamed by the system 'Loki' and on the same mission, Blitzkrieg saved Loki from one of those big aliens(forgot what they were called) by dropping from the roof and shooting it in the back with a shotgun.Yeah. I will be spending ALOT of time on Xcom.

XCOM does that to you. :P

Now try doing that when they're all based off friends of yours.

I myself an debating a playthrough where I base them off actors and celebrities I like a lot.
So I'd have soldiers such as: Morgan Freeman, Mother Russia (Kickass 2), Terry Crews - Old Spice, Nostalgia Critic, Angry Joe, Spoony etc.
