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."
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."
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.
Gamertell has posted a feature about the parrallels between the story in Blacksite: Area 51 and the current US political scene. From the article:
"The in-game to real-world political parrallels are undeniable: There's the government conspiracy covering up alien existence; the dissent regarding wars started under false pretenses; the point regarding scientific advancement as a point of hypocrisy for the current conservative regime that seems to be only pro-"natural life;" the potential reinstatement of the draft; and, while it doesn't necessarily cover the ugliest of counter-insurgency tactics, the game touches on guerrilla warfare and the insurgency."
This video was excellent! I had no idea this game was this awful.
