XCOM Delayed

Although the bizarre science-fiction shooter/reboot XCOM was originally planned for release on March 6th next year, developer Take-Two has confirmed that the game will be delayed. Focusing on an invasion of the suburbs by unlikely extraterresterials, the title features strange physics mechanics and plot twists galore, but perhaps Take-Two thought it wise not to release on the same day as Mass Effect 3, one of the biggest releases of 2012. Whatever the reason, we'll see XCOM at some point in the fiscal year of April 2012-March 2013, and before March 2012 we'll be getting The Darkness II and Max Payne too.
