Gaming Retrospective - Area 51
Area 51 is another one of those obscure single player FPS games, game was released in 2005 and was developed by Midway Austin. In this game you can expect to see a lot of aliens and you will put them to sleep even more of them with your big arsenal of guns. Main protagonist in the game is voiced by one and only David "The Truth is Out There" Duchovny and you can even hear the voice of Marilyn Manson. Story takes us in an Area 51 where an alien virus was released mutating people into strange alien hybrids, our company of marines was sent to clear the base.
Gameplay is your standard shooter game with guns blazing and later in the game our protagonist Ethan Cole gets affected by the virus, strangely he didn't lose his mind like others did and will now be able to use strange alien biological powers. Those powers can be useful at time, but nothing beats good old dual wielding shotgun blasts. For 12 years old game, the game still looks pretty decent and will run nice on any new PC. For any fans of Area 51, moon landing conspiracies and Illuminati, this game could be an interesting one to check out.
It looks abit like Halflife.
Resembles a little yes :)
Oh, man. Now this is a trip, haha. I played the hell out of this game when it came out. Was one of my favorite horror/sci-fi FPS's. The sequel was kind of a let down, though I still got a few hours of enjoyable gameplay out of that.
It seems this game has a cult following. This kind of hidden gems can surprise people even today.
man, sometimes you bring up games i really didnt know they even exists. That is what i like, adding to play-list. Thanks!
That is my speciality, if nobody even heard about one particular game, big chances are that I've played it. Anything from RTS/RPG/FPS genre.
I noticed :D
How about the requirements on graphic card to run this game smooth.
Anything post 2004 :)
i love that game
looks interesting !
