Even the 'copied from Halo 2' feature of dual wielding did absolutely nothing for this game. I found myself just skipping the cut-scenes and story line in hopes that the next level would save this title for me. It was arguably drudging to say the least. The story-line lost me after the second cut-scene. This is something I would expect from a PS1 release in all honesty. You have your basic duck, jump, fire, and throw grenade commands, but climbing ladders, pin-point aiming, and even the speed at which you move throughout the levels is cumbersome and leaves me feeling that I have went back a few generations of gaming. However the controls are less than state of the art. However, this game falls seriously short on the kick-ass o'meter!! Doing a complete about-face from the light gun shooter that we have all came to love, Midway uses a better than average polygonal gaming engine to power this game. Wheras X-Files'ish government conspiricies meet kick-ass FPS gaming sounded like just what the doctor ordered. It promised to be a great FPS combining a great storyline (told by none-other-than David Duchovny himself. I must admit I was pumped to get this title. These moments, and others like them, are what make BlackSite worth playing, especially if you're a fan of movies like Independence Day and War of the Worlds.Midway uses a better than average polygonal gaming engine to power this game. A nice suburban area even has you climbing over a child's jungle gym to navigate a neighborhood overrun with the alien threat. Equally exciting encounters unfold in a trailer park-complete with exploding propane tanks-, a small town court house, and an old drive-in theater. You'll feel like you're at the local 7-Eleven when you hunker down behind an ice machine-you know the one: white with silver doors and 'ICE' stenciled on the side in big, red letters-trying to get a reloading reprieve from the marauding menaces out by the gas pumps. These close-to-home locales look great and support plenty of environmental destruction.

You'll defend against not-of-this-world foes in gas stations, weigh stations, and convenience stores on your journey to a military base, where you hope to uncover some answers. From here the aliens-in-Americana fun starts to unfold as you navigate an abandoned-except for all those flaming, black smoke-spitting vehicles-charred highway. But things quickly pick up when the action shifts to the Nevada desert, and creepy-crawly, self-detonating beasties begin rushing you from all sides. It takes a bit for things to get in gear as this tutorial level feels just like any other been-there-done-that military FPS. The game's opening chapter sees you in the fatigues of a US military man fighting in Iraq. You'll also take on plenty of super-soldiers and, more interestingly, half-man, half-machine 'reborns' sporting long metallic legs and creepy human faces. And those ooze and fire-spewing obstacles run the gamut from small and speedy spider-like types to ground-erupting behemoths that'll only be silenced after several clips have been emptied into their slimy flesh. In fact, think of it as a trek down Route 66 with lots of Earth-eating obstacles. You see, BlackSite's primary draw is its brilliant blend of rampaging, giant-tentacled threats and middle America settings from roadside truck-stops and diners to strip malls and trailer parks, if you've ever roadtripped through the United States, you'll relate to the turf your protecting in BlackSite. So, what kind of alien-blastin' goodness can BlackSite offer that Halo 3 and The Orange Box haven't already? Well, this current incarnation of the Area 51 franchise-which has previously seen success as an arcade light-gun game and less so as a David Duchovny-voiced Xbox/PS2 FPS-does a fantastic job of bringing the aliens home not the futuristic or post-apocalyptic 'home' of other such games, but the everyday, present day settings and environments that can be seen right outside your own window.

We've been fighting little green men in our videogames since Space Invaders hell, we even recently rid the Earth of extra-terrestrials from behind the Spartan visor of Master Chief and the smart specs of Gordon Freeman. You're likely wondering what could be so clever and refreshing about yet another alien shooter.
