Blacksite: Area 51

Midway, bless their ambitious little hearts, continues to try to keep their Area 51 franchise alive, the same way that the government tried to keep E.T. alive when he was all white and dried out and living in that weird chamber thing. In case you haven't figured it out already, smart guy, the aliens have landed once again in Blacksite, and this time they don't want to play a Casio with Richard Dreyfuss—they want to bite your stupid head off, then make Bloodtinis with your innards. Midway introduces a Rainbow Six–style squad-based mechanic this time, meaning you won't ever enter a fire fight alone. To its credit, the game does get off to a unique (and genuinely creepy) start, before it devolves into SIFPSGP (Standard Issue First-Person Shooter Game Play). Some of the boss fights are great, but in the end, the game feels woefully pedestrian, especially since so many awesome first-person shooters have already been released this year. Help stop SIFPSGP. Won't you please give to the SIFPSGP Foundation? Operators are standing by… Cue the Sally Struthers commercial!
