Area 51 (2005 video game): Difference between revisions

* [[Bag of Spilling]]: ''Blacksite'' was really bad about this, as no matter what weapons you were carrying, moving to a new chapter would often default you back to the assault rifle and pistol. This occured even if the transition from one chapter to the next was literally simply walking from one end of a street to another.

* [[Conspiracy Kitchen Sink]]: The first game throws pretty much every popular government conspiracy element of the past century at you, especially if you collect and read all the optional info items.

* [[Disc One Nuke]]: The BBG alien energy weapon you acquire about halfway through the game quickly replaces your assault rifle as ''the'' go-to weapon for most situations. It has infinite ammo, deals great damage, and also does increased damage against most of the game's bosses and special enemies.

* [[Dull Surprise]]: David Duchovny gives one of his signature semi-stoned performances as Ethan Cole.

* [[Shout-Out]]: In ''Area 51,'' on the studio site of where they filmed a fake moon landing, there's a lot of radio chatter in the background. One of thing things you may overhear is "[[Airplane!|What's your vector, Victor?]]"

* [[Standard FPS Guns]]: ''Blacksite'' really comes off badly in this, as it only has 6 guns in the entire game, and all of them are FPS staples; you have a pistol, an assault rifle, a sniper rifle, an alien energy weapon that works like a shotgun, a Javelin rocket launcher, and a "plasma rifle" that functions like a [[Quake]]/[[Doom]] rocket launcher.

* [[Tron Lines]]: As ancient conspiracies go, the Illuminati has some sweet-looking glowing blue armor.

* [[The Virus]]: The aforementioned biohazard that Ethan Cole was sent in to investigate, and the one responsible for the mutant outbreak. ''Blacksite'' has xeno-spores, a biohazard which turns Iraqi and later Rachel civilians into mutants very similar to the ones from the first game.
