X-Com type games?

After seeing Syaped's great little mini-men thread http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=70538 it really made me want to get my x-com on again. The old ones are still great but very dated, so I'm looking for something that has the same feel but a bit more modern.

Other games in this style that I have already played and loved are :

Silent Storm (WWII themed, great-looking, with fully destroyable physics-based environments. I believe that one of our own Polycounters is responsible for a fair bit of the art)

Fallout Tactics

And some that fell short :

UFO afterlight/aftermath etc. I really don't enjoy the constant stop-start gameplay.

UFO: Alien Invasion - A fan-made Quake2 engine game, in the style of X-Com. Impressive, but not quite the real thing. Worth checking out though.

UFO:Extraterrestrials Gold - A bit dry, ugly and repetative. Not terrible, but nothing to get excited about.


So any hidden gems I don't know about?
