"I feel bad for Blacksite: Area 51. Sure, it's not a great FPS title in by any means but it is a solid and enjoyable shooter that will no doubt get lost in the shadow of great games like Halo 3, Bioshock and The Orange Box."
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.
If Blacksite doesn't sell, Midway is only left with Unreal Tournoment 3 and after that doesn't have a big game that I can remember, Wheelman could be another disaster like their previous movie-game deal SpyHunter: Nowhere To Run.

i actually liked the ridiculously short demo for the 360 (almost the same length as heavenly sword demo). as soon as this game becomes 19.99, which will probably happen pretty freaking quickly, i'll pick it up.
and I will be buying this on launch day.. but I might not play it until after the new year.
this will be a good game I think and it will probably be largely left alone these holidays. I think it would have been better if they shipped it early next year
