Damn, I was hoping he meant a real remake of the original. Enemy Unknown was good, but it isn't in my top 5.

I am confused as to what the original could be if not "X-COM: Enemy Unknown" (AKA "UFO: Enemy Unknown"/"X-COM: UFO Defense" released in 1994 on Amiga/CD32/DOS/PSx/Windows by MicroProse)?

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is not a straight remake of UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense, it's a "reimagination". RPS's XCOM review also serves as a comparison/diff to X-COM: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/10/08/xcom-review/

Ah, the original was called UFO Defense in North America, the recent remake by Firaxis/2k was called Enemy Unknown here. The version in the app store is called Enemy Unknown and appears to be a port of the new version.
