So yeah, X-Com has a free weekend on Steam.

If you haven't played any of the games, it's really worth looking at. Basically, it's a turn based strategy game that, I believe, provided much of the inspiration for Mantic Games very own Deadzone.

You command a squad of soldiers, secretly saving the world from an alien invasion. So, what are you waiting for soldiers? Get to it!

And be ready for casualties....

Cool. And they even have it on a massive discount so you can buy it if you like it. I got borderlands and all the DLC for like $15 in one of these free weekend sale things.
