The newest incarnation of the hallowed Area 51 FPS arcade game, Blacksite: Area 51 will be available for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in September. Set in present day, players take the role of a decorated military veteran charged by the government to lead a squadron of “secret soldiers,” each with his/her own specialty skill set, into the Rachel, Nevada area to fight off the invasion of unidentified enemy races.
Midway Entertainment has rejuvenated the game with a new storyline, graphics, better controls and leaner, meaner alien entities. Back in May, when I told you about it the first time, I was pretty excited about a new Area 51- but still feeling twinges of past disappointments with the previous console versions. The more I see of this, the more hopeful I become – it looks pretty intense and scary, which is awesome.
