MIDWAY BlackSite: Area 51 (PS3)

(Region free, Full English language, will play on any PS3 console system) BlackSite: Area 51, developed by Midway Studios Austin, is a next-generation game that will redefi ne the first person shooter (FPS) genre. While other FPS titles claim to feature "action-packed, highly realistic gameplay," BlackSite: Area 51 takes next-gen gaming to an all-new level integrating cutting edge technology, game design and story writing to create the ultimate entertainment experience. The player`s modern-day emotions and fears are driven into a world charged with grave responsibility affecting lives hanging in the balance and eventually fi nding himself torn between his professional orders and his own ethical standards. In the end, only the actions of the player and his squad can shape the outcome of BlackSite: Area 51 during this potentially pivotal moment in history. A Living, Breathing Squad - Your elite Special Forces squad, assembled from the finest soldiers in today`s military, responds to your orders and your leadership in the most realistic in-game visuals imaginable. Lead your squad well and they`ll rally behind you when the enemy brings the fight, but waver in the face of the enemy and their morale will sink accordingly, affecting their aim, their fatigue and the will to fight. Online Multiplayer Modes - Players will have a wide variety of traditional online modes, such as Death-Match, Team-Death-Match and Capture-the-Flag. All-new, unique modes will also be available in the form of Human vs. Reborn mode and the new Siege mode, where teams try to capture each other`s squad members on the way to controlling territory. Drive, Shoot and Ride - Drive the latest military HMMWVs, ATVs and commandeer civilian vehicles, or take a seat in the gunner`s position in daring, low-level helicopter raids against enemy positions. Unique One-Button Squad Co Amazon.co.uk Review If the U.S. Army ever does come into possession of a crashed UFO then the very worst place to hide it would be Area 51 considering thats exactly the first place everyone would think to look for it. If real aliens are anything like the ones in this follow-up to the 2005 hit though theyre better off kept a secret. Like the last game this is a first person shoot em-up with no pretentions about complex storytelling or realism, just the ability to fight lots and lots of bug-eyed monsters. It turns out theyve escaped from the titular army base and youre cast as a Special Forces soldier sent to invade their space. Thankfully youre not sent in alone and you have full control over a squad of ally soldiers, as you order them around by sending them to specific areas or telling them to target a particular bad guy. Each soldier will have their own level of morale, where doing badly makes them poorer shots and eventually convinces them to make a run for it. Thankfully the opposite is true if theyre feeling confident though. Youll also be able to hitch a lift on various vehicles, from jeeps to helicopters, for one of a number of fun on-the-rails shooting sections. The game also comes with a wide range of online multiplayer, including a co-operative mode for two people. If there really are any aliens in Area 51 one then this should convince them to stay exactly where they are. Harrison Dent
