Old school fun with a good view
I was a bit hesitant after reading the GS's review to load in this game, so it collected dust on my shelf for many many months. One day I decided to load it in and see what it was all about. Well, I was surprised. Immed... Read Full Review

BlackSite: Area 51 is a pretty abysmal attempt at mediocrity.
BlackSite: Area 51 is another grain in the sand of the sub genre that is known as the alien first-person shooters. In this title you play as Captain Pierce, a solider who was sent with a his squad to investigate a bunker... Read Full Review

This game, if it works for you, will make you angry and sad. This is what a game company going bankrupt looks like.
[UPDATED] My original review of A51: BS was pretty harsh. You see the game didn't work... at all. It took 45 minutes just to get to ESRB rating. But a year later, lots of patches, time marching on etc. and now I can play... Read Full Review

This game is quite good, but with a bit more development time it could have been a much better experience.
The story is very interesting to start with. You are going into Iraq to infiltrate the alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction facility, but instead you find that you are inside a giant monster facility. The gameplay can ... Read Full Review

Fun, but over before you know it.
Is it just me, or are games getting a lot shorter these days. I mean yeah you got your Oblivions, Fallouts, and Fable type games, which you expect to be a bit longer than your average disc, but the everything that isn't... Read Full Review

This game isn't as bad as people are saying but it isn't amazing either
When I got this game I was really excited to start playing. The first levels were really fun and the story was quite intriguing as well. But the game play started to get a little repetitive and things just seemed to ke... Read Full Review

A pretty average FPS. Nice visuals. Story is ok, it needed more suspense and a better ending in my opinion
Even though the reviews seemed mediocre I thought I'd give this one a try as it looked ok and the squad command seemed a nice addition. Unfortunately it wasn't all it cracked up to be! The game itself looks quite nice an... Read Full Review

Blacksite: Area 51 is a diamond in the rough of First-Person Shooter games … if, you know, diamonds kind of sucked.
This game seems to have been cobbled from the stereotypical FPS box of plots. You assume the role of Captain Pierce, a Delta Force army soldier sent to Iraq to search for those elusive WMDs. Shortly into the mission, s... Read Full Review
