After all these years, Silent Storm is still the reigning champion of turn based tactics games. Sure, games like XCom are newer and shinier, but they certainly do not have the gritty gunplay, where every single bullet fired could end the life of someone.

Ever run through withering machine gun fire, and miraculously escape unscathed? Check.
Ever accidentally blow up a building while in a firefight inside, killing everyone? Check.
Ever had to defend a position, and be so outgunned, that you had to resort to blindly throw grenades from a trench? Check.
Ever run out of ammunition, and had to loot the dead for weapons? Check.

This game has it all. And if you're a fan of turn based tactics games, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

XCom : UFO Defense also known as UFO : Enemy Unknown predates SS by almost a decade. XCom was released in 2012.
