I think that Enforcer is a 1st/3rd person shooter. But does anyone know what X-com: Alliance is?
X-COM enforcer is a 3rd rate 3rd person shooter. It also strips out the management side of things, so its not even an XCOM game in the traditional sense of the word. Avoid.

x-COM Alliance looks like a 1st rate 1st person shooter with the management side intact and would be ace. There are plot hooks in XCOM Interceptor (The news stories about the missing Patterson being found half-way across the galaxy in a voyager rip off. Impressive for a ship w/o hyperdrive) which I think are meant to tie into this.

Alliance was canned a few years back just after XCOM Genesis (on which I have nothing) but there were signs a few months back that it might be on the way to being revived. Heres hoping.
