Area
51
There
are a lot of people out there that like Martians.
UFOs, little grey men, anal probing devices, there’s just this
undeniable charm and mystique surrounding the whole space alien
phenomenon.
Now Midway has a new FPS in the works, taking place in possibly
the most notorious place for Martian activity, Area 51.
The
game follows the exploits of Ethan Cole as his HAZMAT team are sent to
Area 51 after and infection has spread there, causing the facility to go
into lockdown. It turns out
that this virus has mutagenic properties that have caused the staff at
Area 51 to turn into some pretty nasty beasts.
On top of this, an ancient alien colony has
been discovered beneath the base.
With that Mr. Cole has his work cut out for him as he fends off
mutants while figuring out the significance of the colony.

•
Fearsome Weaponry—Players are armed with more than 10 types of
human and alien weapons as they explore the dark and menacing corridors
of Area 51. •
Biological Mutations—An infectious mutagen has given players
alien-enhanced physical abilities but is slowly transforming them into
an alien. They
must find the cure before it’s too late and their humanity is lost. •
Government Conspiracies—Discover the real answers behind such

The game seems to be covering all the bases as to what players come to expect from an FPS. What will be the biggest hurtle is creating well laid out maps for the levels, as well as making sure the weapons are appropriately spiffy for a game in this genre. - Mr. Nash (June 5, 2004)
