Midway's Area 51 shooter franchise has always had a lot of camp humor in previous versions but for the upcoming PC-PS3-Xbox 360 FPS BlackSite: Area 51 things get more serious as the developers at Midway's Austin studio bring in things like the Iraq war and other real life political issues mixed in with shooting aliens. FiringSquad got a chance to chat with Midway Austin's studio head Harvey Smith to find out more about BlackSite: Area 51.
Derik Moore of Gaming Rebellion Writes: "Welcome to another Gaming For Official Use Only. I have wanted to cover this topic for a long time, but I really couldn’t decide on which Area 51 game I would cover. There’s the classic light gun arcade game from the 1990’s, and a fairly forgotten FPS reboot from the 2000’s. I spent too much time trying to figure out which I would cover until it hit me: I don’t have to choose. I’ll cover both before going on to probably the most well known conspiracy theory in mainstream media. Let’s start with the awesome light gun game."
EB's Nat Smyth writes, "Blacksite Area 51 piqued my curiosity when I was a new Xbox 360 owner in 2007, and I had seen it on the shelf too many times in visits to my local Gamestop to pass it up, so I finally bought it. What I got when I played it was a dull, lifeless, and somewhat ugly looking first person shooter that didn’t hold up at all next to the recently released Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."
Justin from TMSGamer is back for the third, and final part of his article about the worst games he has played on this generation. Remember, these are games only he has played.
Anygame with a good co-op is definitely my type of game. And after reading this , i am definitely going to follow this title.
I think Im the only one that is going to be playing this game either way i loved the first one and this one im getting on ps3. After watching both trailers though i thought they looked identical between ps3 and xbox360 i think ps3 had a little bit better bolor ratio but besides that their identicale :)
