    Bought Dishonoured on the xbox, (on Tuesday in Tesco actually) and played the first mission so far.

    Currently waiting for XCOM to finish downloading from Steam, I pre-loaded it but it's at 86% today :(

    I purchased both, but Xcom is clearly the better game.

    I found Dishonored to be rather easy even on higher difficulties. The pacing has put me off and I haven't touched the game for a few days.

    Youtube ads for dishonored made me vow never to purchase it and never disable AD block again >.> Mate got dishonored and it reminds me of prisoner of war with AA. Might pick it up at bargin bin price. Haven't seen or heard anything about XCOM. It completely passed me by. Ill look into it but prob not pick it up either tbh.

    Been playing ironman on normal but have decided to kick it up a notch and started a new game of Classic (no ironman).

    Absolutely loving the game, not played any more Dishonoured yet, but I will, XCOM is what I really want to play at the moment.

    The more I read about Dishonored after its release, the more I'm happy I didn't buy it. XCOM for me :)

    X:COM is amazing. I loved the original and probably spent 100's of hours playing it when I was a teenager and the remake has kept everything that made the original brilliant while managing to enhance the best bits and remove the annoyances. Pure gaming heaven for me.
