I don't think it's that as I'm fairly certain that X-com has already been on the cover of the magazine.

Yeah, i forgot about that. The original X-com was the best version. Turn based strategy with a 3d isometric view. Countless copies have tried and failed, no-one has ever captured the original how it should be.

I thought x-com was confirmed after a similar statement a couple of months ago?

X-com is coming to the 360/PC pretty sure its a FPS/TPS with some elements from the original game. Pretty sure ive heard that Syndicate is being worked on as a multiplatform game. Then again it doesnt mention it as a 360 exclusive or that it was an Xbox exclusive game, which if it was im sure they would say. Hmmm the plot thickens.

To claim to know most 'aaa titles' and yet know nothing about syndicate is just crazy.

Most that have been released since the Master System days at least. It was only a tongue in cheek comment you don't need to be so wound up tight, relax.

I'll guess System Shock 2

Looks like covert action to me.... :cool:

i wondered why the word 'reborn' was like that maybe a hint

Oh, that's doing my head in now. I'm sure there was a game which had blueprints as the actual level and you had to open doors and things which were coloured green and red and maybe fire turrets / lasers. Wonder if I'm thinking of System Shock 1 or 2.

Apparently someone over on the CVG forums has guessed it correctly, and there weren't that many replies when I had a look.

Syndicate seems to be the safe option at the moment. Bullfrog was Molyneux as well wasn't it, and he loves a bit of Xbox action...

Love it. I want to play it now.

would bet on it being Halo: Combat Evolved, or maybe even Re-Evolved!

So according to CVG its not a 360 exclusive but a mag exclusive, and we wont even know then as according to the editor

The reveal has now been pushed back by the game's publisher and "is very unlikely to appear in the magazine for the forseeable future," according to Hicks.

. So it now sounds a bit of dumb headline for the mag, if its now been pulled by the publishers.

23. I'm saying I've heard of most AAA games even ones before my time and I've never heard of Syndicate.

Congratulations, now you've heard of it :rolleyes:

Gaah I didnt read that bit. Now that's slightly annoying. People are suggesting Rainbow 6 !!!!!!!!! Possibly the worst suggestion out there.

Oh my God not the rolleyes!!!

I think you need to calm down Simon, I'm sorry if someone not hearing of a game offended you deeply.
