Officially, this game was launched at the tail end of June, but it still counts as an August game.  XCOM is the first such mobile game in the sci-fi strategy genre. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is based fully on UFO: Enemy Unknown from way back in 1994. XCOM is a giant leap ahead in terms of graphics and gameplay that far outstrips any of its counterparts in console gaming. The hefty $19.99 that costs to purchase this game may deter some people, but with XCOM you are definitely getting all that you pay for.
