Midway gives IGN an updated look at its extra-terrestrial shooter and what they can expect to see at E3.
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.
Midway game?
I have played the demo for this on the 360 and have to say its a mix of half life 2 and Doom 3, mixed into a horrible way with Midways own special brew.
I am hating all Midway games they are all just watered down or copies of other games and feel awful.
Want another comparison? What about that Call of duty game that Midway call something like 'Final Hour' isnt it?
COD 2 and 3 even though 2 is better is far better than Midways attempt at a World War game.
Sorry but I think it wont be long before its Midway's 'Final Hour'
And I liked it. This and UT3 are going to be two of my fav FPS's. Irony is im buying them for the PS3. PS3 collection loaded with FPS's. Thats weird.
And as im buying them im going to turn to the ravenous Xbox fanboys that invest every gamestop and ebay game and say
"All Xbox has is First Person Shooters". As I walk away with a handful of shooters for my PS3. lol
this game looks average. nothing that makes me say wow, but i will keep my eyes on it.
and I really liked it. I just never seem to get tired of these types of games..
The only problem I had was with the framerate when scenes got really intense. But I'm sure they will be fixed in the final retail.
Midway did Psi-Ops, one of my favorite games of all time so they are OK in my book.. Now if they would just release a sequel to it since they left part 1 with such a cliff hanger..
