X-Communique: Julian Gollop Speaks

RPS chum Al Bickham managed to get revered X-COM co-creator Julian Gollop on the blower recently, and got the fine fellow to chat about the making of the best game in the world evereverever. While it doesn't go into Gollop's feelings about the upcoming FPS from 2K (previously expressed here), he does say of the long-canned X-COM Alliance that "I was shocked. It was an FPS.
