I started playing X-Com: Enemy Unknown. The first mission went tutorially. The second went easily--a bit more freedom, but still pretty linear. I think I killed both of the enemies with one shot of the rifle instead of using the rocket launcher like they recommended. Wish I had caught the name of the soldier who did that.
It's pretty impressive. I like how the game transitions so smoothly from tactical view to personal view to "cutscene". It's a well-designed engine. The gameplay seems pretty fun, too, but I've only started.
EDIT: I think it's a Juan Medina of Argentina, home nation of Sq. Jorge Vargas, only survivor of the Tutorial. Medina became a Support, while fellow rookie Chase Mills of Canada became a Sniper for killing one enemy. With a grenade, I believe. Azubuike Hangana of some nation with a green-and-white flag got no kills. Poor guy...

((Wait a sec - do dynamic bonuses increase as they charge or is it only a +/- 1?
(They stack.)

"Hmm... alright then, why don't you help by holding this one down?  It's always difficult to operate when they're kicking and flailing about."
Patch up the guy with the chest wound.  Once he's done, do the one with the cut.

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Pandora's bag. Maurice smiled to himself. Reminds me of the Pit, for some reason. Probably shouldn't open it here.
Wait for a little, slightly poke at the cloth of the bag; don't open it. If it doesn't open or rip apart from inside, put the bag back into the box and close it; go to Steve and offer assistance.
Steve, do any of the teams still have open spots? What can I help you with?

Hopefully, piecewise won't mind me turning this into an impromptu X-Com blog.
