Midway Games today announced BlackSite: Area 51, an action packed, first person shooter experience which pits gamers against alien enemy forces using the infamous U.S. government landmark, Area 51, and the surrounding areas as the battlefield backdrop. BlackSite: Area 51 is currently in development for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and for the PC.
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.
This game looks pretty cool... I was a little disappointed when I found out it was only coming to ps3 but now that its multi platform I am excited cant wait to play this game.
I thought the game was already announced. This is kinda old news isnt it?
just prior to CES 07' and then talked about in-depth at Midways Show just a few days ago. But im glad that this game is the sequel to Area 51. Ive always been waiting for a Government-coverup-horror-fps, since Area 51 came out. Area 51 was a great game, and BlackSite is gonna be even better running on Next-gen systems. Question for me is, do I get it for PS3 or 360. Time will tell
@NoUseMerc: It is officially announced a few days ago by Midway.
