Track the Bad Guys, be brutal and smart in your planning, and eliminate them one by one. But bear this in mind: each criminal’s death has to look like an accident. In each level, you’ll have the chance to splatter and destroy the Bad Guy using various weapons and traps.

A bit of a sore spot for me personally, but there is light at the end of the tunnel! Scrolls is the rather good card battle game created by Mojang (creators of Minecraft).

OpenXcom is still one of my favourite open source engines ever. The original X-COM game UFO: Enemy Unknown/X-COM UFO Defense is one of the best strategy games ever made. The incredible open source engine is finally approaching a 1.0 release.
