Midway announced today that Blacksite Area 51 has gone gold and will be in stores Nov. 12th for Xbox 360 and PC with a PlayStation 3 version expected in time for the holidays.
Another demo for Xbox Live is scheduled to be released soon, and a PS3 demo will be released later this year.
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.
I am still waiting for a decent demo before even thinking about buying it
Glad the COD4 team could.
It seems that midway and a lot of developers have struggled in the past, but they seem to slowly be coming around and hopefully in the near future these games will be on par if not better than 360.
Why we don't have a single review?
Aside from Halo 3, games used to get reviews weeks before their release but thanks to Halo 3's strict system, we have to wait until the actual release to get reviews. At least Assassins and this game are like that and have no review so far (Aside from Japanese Famitsu review).
I really liked the demo. Another limited-time console exclusive for the 360 by default..
