14 Hotly-Anticipated Video Games Still Coming Before Christmas 2016

7. XCOM 2 (PS4/Xbox One)

Those in possession of a fairly powerful PC will already have witnessed the turn-taking perfection that is XCOM 2, but for us lowly console peasants, we've been forced to wait until September.

Thankfully, that release is now on the horizon, and if you're somehow yet to play any XCOM title, its main sequel is definitely the one to plump for. Following an alien invasion in the first game (that humanity actually lost to) they've now set up all manner of installations across the globe, with various humans converting to become followers and leaving your ragtag bunch of XCOM elite soldiers to wage war in more covert means.

The odds are stacked against you, but that's why the idea of a fully customisable squad is so appealing, especially with the idea of taking turns, planning thousands of different tactics on the fly and winning the world back step by step.

XCOM as a series is hands-down the best strategy experience on the market, and here's to some solid console ports making that known to as many people as possible.
