      It wasn't only the u.s. Air Force this was also given to the US Army because when I used to live on Fort Hood( now Fort Cavazos) they gave these to a bunch of people that were being deployed in Afghanistan and my dad was one of those people who was given this game and he "didn't play games" and made that a joke that lasted for about 13 years but I remember it eventually being given to me that's how I know of this being a thing

      I remember it so fondly. I played it on an Xbox at a Gaming Center, lounge with gaming setups and a PC area with good setups, all for rent at $5 an hour, 72 inch screens or PC. They had all the latest consoles and games, hosted tournaments and I even partook during Black Ops original release with the RCXD as the grand prize. Lockjns from 11pm to 7am. And during one of those lock-ins I played this game. I loved that experience.

    You forgot to mention that Cole is played by David Duchovny, Marilyn Manson played Edgar, Powers Boothe played the Major, and the ever present Nolan North was McCan (AKA, head get ripped of bookworm). It was a loosely based attempt at a reimagining of the arcade game.

    I loved the hell out of Area 51 back on the PS2, felt like the closest thing to Halo since I wasn't much of an Xbox player at the time. The multiplayer was a ton of fun too, especially the infection type humans vs mutants mode. A shame the following game Blacksite: Area 51 was basically its own thing instead of a direct sequel though.

    • @EvanHelblingYT
      @EvanHelblingYT  ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I didn't even look at the multiplayer option, I can imagine how fun that mode would've been. It reminded me of TimeSplitters a bit as well. I wonder what a direct sequel would've been, tracking down and killing the illuminati woulda be my first guess.

    • @NebLleb
      @NebLleb ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I actually tried playing Blacksite two times. Once on PS3, the other on PC. It didn't matter which version you picked, because the game was such a downgrade in every sense of the word, with a more generic and cliche plot with an in-your-face war on terror critique, bad framerates on console, and a rather lacklustre arsenal compared to its precursor. And as a connoisseur of Late-2000s FPS games like Call of Duty 4, Crysis, BioShock and even Turok 2008, Whenever people insult that era, Blacksite: Area 51 is usually what they're talking about. It's just so... Brown and bland.

    Area 51 is honestly one of Midway's best 2000s non-Mortal Kombat games. It's fast, fun, and best of all, it doesn't take itself so seriously! As someone who played another game by the same company where the main flaw was the story and writing (Psi-Ops, another good one), you can tell that everyone involved were having way too much fun with this game and creating a world where every conspiracy, no matter how stupid, is real in some form or another. The tongue is firmly in cheek, and it shows.
    Also, the gameplay rocks. Pure arcade fun.

    Nearly 20 years later, it's still funny how the main character, a member of a Hazmat team, is not wearing gloves.

    I remember seeing this game in a GameInformer magazine from GameSpot in the early 2000's, I got this game on release date and to this day it one of the best games I ever played. Underrated game

    I can tell that this is one of those channels where you’ll definitely blow up at some point. The algorithm will make its way to you soon
    I predict you’ll have at least 100K subscribers within the next 3 years. That’s just my guess anyway.
    Good luck, amigo
