Area 51 (Free Download)

Presumably to advertise the sequel Blacksite, Midway games has made Area 51 available as a free download. The complete game can be downloaded from this site.

Quote:
Midway has released for free Area 51, allowing you to enjoy the PC version of this sci-fi FPS developed by Inevitable Entertainment. Area 51 features the voice talent of David Duchovny as Specialist Ethan Cole of the Hazardous Materials Division, Powers Boothe as Major Bridges, and recording artist Marilyn Manson as Edgar, the gray alien. As Cole, players,will delve into massive levels within the confines of Area 51, discovering a deadly mutagenic side effect of the virus that controls the minds of those infected, as well as an ancient alien colony buried beneath the facility. With a multitude of human and alien weapons, players must explore chilling conspiracies such as the extraterrestrial crash at Roswell and the faked lunar landing, in order to solve the enigma of Area 51 before the viral mutagen is released and irrevocably mutates all life on Earth.

Re: Area 51 (Free Download)

Do you know if this is the full game as it is only 1.9GB and that pretty small.

Thanks

This is the original Area 51, its a class game, I never played it first time round but my mates always said how good it was back in the day.

Thanks again, has a Halo'esk feel to it, those alien human hybrids remind me of the flood, also the dual wielding is pretty sweet. Would have been nice if blacksite could have been of this quality.

Oh and the voice talent of David Duchovny which is sweet
