The gorgeous yellow hues in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified evoke a Norman Rockwell painting. All appears idyllic and classic 1960s Americana -- until those darned aliens zoom in and start zapping everyone with their ray guns or kidnapping them for fairly uncomfortable experiments aboard their spaceships. The concept of strong-willed G-men with vests and Tommy guns eliminating hordes of aliens is enticing, but this release hits the target only occasionally.
RATING M for Mature
PLOT Flashback to the '60s as G-men battle aliens
DETAILS Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $59.99
BOTTOM LINE Not totally out of this world
