CVG's interview with Ricardo Bare, lead campaign designer of BlackSite: Area 51, about PS3 version, AI, Halo 3, co-op, new demo and more.
From the interview:
CVG: What can you tell us about the co-op mode?
Ricardo Bare: It'll be like Gears of War. You can have one friend join the game with you at any point and play through the game together. It'll be the same features as the single-player campaign; your squad will still be there. Player one is the squad commander and player two is an extra special forces soldier.
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.
Played this demo on my 360 its going to be a good game. Can't wait till this is released.
I tried demo thought it was ok not that good. seemed like a run of the mill fps pretty mediocre.
Its always more fun to play the SP online with one of your buds.
Sounds pretty good :D
"Some people subscribe to the fact that when something really huge comes out, it helps the other two or three really good games that also come out, because you want more FPS action."
The problem, as I see it, is that Halo 3 is going to keep most gamers busy until they forget about the other games (that is, the games released at the same time as Halo 3).
That's what i think anyway.
