X-COM creator narrates Ghost Recon Shadow Wars walkthrough trailer

by Alice O'Connor, Mar 23, 2011 8:45am PDT

One of the more interesting titles in the Nintendo 3DS launch lineup is also one of the most unassuming--Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars. Rather than the uninspiring cash-in one might expect, it's a turn-based tactics title game produced by Jullian Gollop, creator of the much-loved X-COM series.

Gollop introduces the game in a new nine-minute gameplay trailer, walking us all through one of its later missions.

Published by Ubisoft and developed by its Sofia studio, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars launches this week alongside the 3DS.

The X-COM brand is currently being used by 2K for its largely-unrelated first-person shooter XCOM.

      Yeah. It was X-COM with no base building.
