I've been waiting for this series to come back to gaming - if I had the money to spare I'd love to get this, but maybe next year. Looks good, though. Reminds me slightly of Valkyria Chronicles.

In what way? I've played both, put a fair number of hours into each. They both have that smaller-scale squad aspect, but that's about it.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

That was pretty much what I was reminded of. The turn-based tactical nature of the respective missions, too, though X-Com is more a strategy game with tactical interludes, whereas Valkyria Chronicles was a tactical game with RPG elements and no strategic overlay.
