Blacksite
Xbox 360
Age 16
RRP £39.99
So, this is not called Blacksite Area 51 as it is in most of the world. Guess we Brits have no concept of Area 51 is with all their mystery flying saucer and alien autopsies and such like.
Instead, we get just Blacksite, and this is the one for the Xbox 360.
You still get some aliens to shoot though, because of course all aliens must be destroyed - Hollywood taught us that way back in the 50s when they kept coming to Earth for no other good reason than colonise it.
Well, we are not having any of that. And once more it is the not-quite lone hero who will make sure there are some secrets that can't be kept.
You are one Aeran Pierce, a Special Forces assassin. Do special forces have assassins? Must be a secret.
I say he is not quite lone as you can have your own special squad to do your beckoning, but don't expect them to finish the game for you while you simply sit back and enjoy the smouldering good looks of this shooter.
Jump into vehicles and take a drive - even jump into the gunner's seat Battlefield stylee.
Heck, you can even play both sides if you must.
Your squad of secret soldiers each has their own specialty skill of course to determine the sort of outcome you are after. Go your own way or follow order to the letter. Generally up to you.
