is there anything out there like syndicate wars or x-com or any other research like games. I know a new xcom is out latter this year. but anything worth playing from last few years.
 
UFO Extraterrestrials
I thought it was quite good especially if you liked x-com.

Sword of the stars ( the first one)
That has research and you may want to check out too. I've not played the second one.
 
Not sure what you're after, basically any game that has research as a core gameplay mechanic is what I assumed.

Civilization 5 is worth playing, also Warlock Master of the Arcane might be very good and based on the Civ 5 engine.

Civ 4 is a classic of course.

Theres all the UFO games like shaf mentioned, they're basically imitating xcom.

Galactic Civilizations 2 is similar to Civilization gameplay but set in space, very well regarded game.

Total War games perhaps?
 
I've not played the second one.
I played it a while ago and it wasn't great, they patch it regularly though so I don't know what its like now.

Don't think they can "save" the game but it might be a bit of a rough diamond.
 
Seems I've played it before looking at the thread for it. Also it keeps crashing on ship attack when in cannon range. Can't see anything on google with that bug, but plenty of others.

Any other games, played all the CIV ones.
