Err... yeah, well I suppose you can talk about other stuff as well, maybe?

I know some 2d versions already exist, but this one look really nice, and in full 3d

Speaking as someone who spent far, far too much time playing the original, and is feeling a little disappointed with UFO: AM, I can echo that WOOHOO! :)

or, as they called it on this side of the pond, X-COM :)

I still remember fondly the first time I played the demo for the original.
I still remember my dissatisfaction with the second game.
I still remember my amusemed regrets about the third.
I still remember my utter confusion with the reasoning behind X-CCOM:Interceptor.
I still remember my utter horror when I heard they were making an FPS.

I am pleased to find this new demo more reminiscent of my more pleasurable alien killing moments.

One more to add to my list ;-)

Here a small collection of (mostly free) X-COM Ufo links:

http://www.projectxenocide.com/ -Project Xenocide (under heavy evelopment.. big fanbase it seems)
http://ufo.myexp.de/ - Ufo Alien Invasion (based on a modified quake (2?) engine)
http://edf-project.sourceforge.net/ - EDF-Project (no develompment anymore.. most of the devs are in one of the other projects now)
http://ufo2000.sourceforge.net/ - Free Engine to play the original UFO on most platforms 8)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/talon/ - A UFO like game that also includes plans for extra-earth bases/travel and a very good API-design (e.g the battlescape engine can be replaced with very low effort

Some more links:
http://www.lasthopemod.com/
http://www.ufoaftermath.co.uk/
http://www.x-com.co.uk/

I found even more, but i didn't save them all :(

The names of the first three games as i know them:
X-COM: UFO
X-COM: Terror from the deep - much better athmosphere than the first one IMHO ... and my alltime favourite ...(okok, blease stop shouting "sacrilege")
X-COM Apocalypse
