I've been tracking this game since the beginning. And I'm pleased there are more people looking for these kind of games. X-Com is without doubt my most beloved game series (sorry, Aaron).
There was a very, very cool Russian X-Com clone, but they haven't posted a message on their forum for quite some time now. I think the project is dead. It's a real pitty, because they showed the best textures and models for a game I've ever seen.
I'll search for a link to the site of the Russian team.
Edit:
Okay, I found the links. Be careful, the site is veeery slooow.
This is the Russian site.
This is the English site.
The English site isn't very recent anymore. Too bad.
Remember to take a look at the absolutely fantastic artwork. They got my vote if they need it to publish their game.
