Play:Digital has a video review of Blacksite: Area 51 which allows gamers the chance to see what critics are talking about. Blacksite has come under heavy fire and you can see for yourself why. The review covers vehicle operations and the Squad Morale system as your video host Katherine leads you through different aspects of gameplay.
Hi guys, I’m taking a look at Blacksite: Area 51 on Xbox 360 for you today. Yes, that’s right, for you; some of these games I play so you don’t have to!
There’s some Iraqis (O_o) and some mutanty alieny type things to shoot at - too bad you can’t shoot at your own men though.
Not a bad game overall, but it doesn’t really have any raison d’etre in these halcyon days of FPS. The truth might be out there, but I don’t think you’ll find it in this game.

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.
They seem to make more crappy games than good ones. Only game I can and want to pick up this Christmas for my PS3 is UT3. Well, here is to 2008 for more awsome games and less crappy ones. I was hoping for Blacksite to be good but I guess it doesnt seem good enough to pay 60 bucks. Might rent it or borrow it sometime if I have a chance.
this game look hella sick to
