Choose your fate in this XCOM: Enemy Unknown interactive video

28 September 2012 by Peter Parrish

The magic of youtube makes such things as ‘interactive trailers’ possible. If you didn’t have the time or the bandwidth to download the XCOM: Enemy Unknown demo released earlier this week, or if you’re waiting for the console demo, then this video is probably the next best thing.

A man who sounds curiously like the Twilight Zone’s Rod Sterling guides you through some fairly straightforward mission choices (do you run in all guns blazing, or progress using cover?) and the video skips around to show the results of your selections playing out.

You can mess around with it, below. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 early next month.
