In the early part of 2005, Midway rejuvenated its alien-centric lightgun shooter franchise on the PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2 with Area 51. The game was a pleasant surprise all around, boasting fantastic visuals (especially on the consoles) and an engaging storyline that wound tighter and tighter as it progressed. This summer, Midway Studios - Austin will unleash its sequel on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in the form of BlackSite: Area 51.
With all the talk about raiding Area 51, some gamers want to see a reboot of the old Area 51 games. Will it happen? When? What will the game look like?
Those game are long dead. By the time a game could be made, reddit will have moved on. Good riddance, no one cares.

Drew Leachman writes: The From A to Z series lets our editors go back and take a look at games from past generations that are classics, overlooked gems, or just titles they remember fondly. The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
Our second series will focus on Sony’s sophomore entry into the console business, the PlayStation 2.
Let’s start with the letter “A”.
Cookie and Cream was known as Kuri Kuri Mix here in the UK (and Europe/Japan too I believe). Very cool game and quite the underrated gem.
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."
better have LIVE co-op.....
...I dunno. I'm not really excited about this game at all. I'll probably rent it for something to play on one of those bad weather weekends where I'm wanting to waste some time.
I'll rent it too. Didn't really like the first one, so i hope this will be good. Im just waiting until they have out the demo for Lair on the PS store
This game looks impressive, in fact, it looks better than the original. Look at the Havoc physics in this game and the Aliens. I might buy this game.
Loved the one on ps2 was great. and im glad there is FINALLY some info on this its been very quiet
