Midway Games Inc. announced that BlackSite: Area 51 for the PlayStation 3 is now shipping to retail outlets nationwide.

The immersive and fast-paced FPS title, which is already available in stores for Xbox 360 and PC in North America, allows gamers the chance to direct living, breathing squad mates with a context-sensitive "One-Button Squad Command" control system as they make their way through the game's politically-subversive storyline. Throughout the mission, destructible environments can be reduced to rubble, creating interactive cover points for both you and the enemy, which can be blown away with enough firepower.

Developed by Midway Studios Austin using a fully-customized version of Unreal Engine 3.0, BlackSite: Area 51 combines cutting-edge technology and smart game design with an illuminating, politically-inspired storyline.

Featuring a powerful single-player campaign, along with numerous multiplayer modes BlackSite: Area 51 delivers vicious combat action, next generation graphics and A.I., and a powerful arsenal of weapons and vehicles. Set in present day, players take the role of decorated military veteran, Aeran Pierce, charged by the government to lead a squad of secret soldiers, each with his/her own specialty skill set, into the Rachel, Nevada, area to fight off the invasion of unidentified enemy races.
