It's been a bumpy road for BlackSite: Area 51, but now the game is gold and ready to invade PC and Xbox 360 Nov. 12. The PS3 version is currently caught in a temporal vortex and is expected to release before "the holidays." The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions sport different features, so figure out what's important to you before buying.
BlackSite is actually best known at this point for its delays and developer comments -- one of which involved it being a good idea to release BlackSite the same week as Halo 3. Well, good luck to BlackSite, the pool is looking awfully full this holiday.

Nov 12: Blacksite Area 51 goes onsale.
March 12: Shagi finally has time to check it out after running out all of the other must buy software for this holiday season.
It really is the difference between 19.99 and 59.99, I should be thanking them.

pass... i already played this game... last year... its called Resistance:Fall of Man...
sorry this looks sub-par at best... put this right below time-shift (which at least LOOKED cool compared to area51) uh but with CoD4, Assassins Creed, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Haze (dec4 i know)Mass Effect... Does ANYONE even care about this pile called Blacksite: Area 51?

I don't know about you guys but I will purchase this game! I loved the first one on my ps2 but this one looks better. And I wonder what secret battle they will put in there like in the first one there was a level with 3 sharks with machine guns attached to their head! :0

The pool isn't actually full Joystiq, the pool is in fact closed.
