Been warily eyeing X-com myself. Not sure it will be up to the standards of the originals.
But it is Fireaxis and that crew..so..even if it isn't fitting of the X-com name, It'll be good, I'm sure.

I've never played any of the Xcom games.

Well GW2 is all about co-op with the world. Every event is like a huge battle or game that everyone can participate in, even if there is a huge boss reaking havoc nearby and you help kill it, you still get to pick up items off the boss along with everyone else. GW2 is rather popular and I do feel alot more people are playing it. I would keep playing, but my laptop doesn't have a dual core processor so the game lags like crazy. I'd recommend getting GW2 ONLY if said computer or laptop meets it's requirements and if you can locate friends who play it, cause it is still nice to have friends.

If not, you could join me and my boyfriend on Aion which is free and also co-made by NCsoft XD And it wont cost you a dime, and you'd automatically have two people you could play with. lol

I was doing that with City of Heros. I'm kinda wary of NCSoft's free game, since I got into it and they smote it, presumably, to use those old servers to handle the stress of GW2.

Actually Aion is one of their better games that has a decent amount of hype. I am uber picky on my MMO's, the gameplay, game style, and feel. This game has alot of the things i've been looking for. I've played Eden Eternal, Dragons Nest, Maple Story, Perfect World, and afew others and none come close to Aion. GW2 obviously beat Aion in gameplay and look, but Aion in my own opinion is worth trying once, and if you don't like it, just get rid of it :P

I liked CoH, cause it was a fun new concept. I played WoW, but, I got bored of it and moved on. I had GW1, and I really didn't like it at all. :\ I'm leary about trusting NCSoft, after their pulling the rug out from under me in CoH.

*Flails.*I promise!
