Area 51 free to download

Midway’s alien-infused, US military base-based FPS, Area 51, is now free to download.

The game was released way back in 2005 – before most of you was allowed to use your computers unsupervised – so you might want to check it out.

Get going.

is this the first one, and not the second one (the one from the picture?).

I thought Black Site was a decent enough game, worth the £12 i paid in Tesco for it anyway!

ooh the first one was shit.

.. and the second wasn’t the best fps ever as well.

Never did get round to buying this for Xbox, despite finding the demo mildly engaging. Strange, but fun enough. Free, therefore, is not a price I’m arguing with. Nice.

The first one was a giggle. Very trashy but good fun. Lost its way a little in the final chapters though.

The first one wasn’t too bad, it definitely had an air of B-Movieness about it though. And honestly I’d recommend snagging and playing it once for that alone.
