Why is it that everybody who writes to us these days seems to think that their mail might get shanghai-ed to someplace unexpected? Curious. Maybe someday I'll write a sociology dissertation on the subject.
As far as X-COM hints are concerned, according to our article index database (which, I am assured, will be included in each and every episode of IE Real Soon Now), we ran articles in episodes 3, 4, 5 and 6 - of which, 4, 5 and 6 are still available. The review of Terror From the Deep ran in episode 13, and that's all we've seen of X-COM 2, since it was largely a rehash of the original with slightly harder missions.
However, stay tuned. We should have an article on X-COM: Apocalypse any day now . . .
