AREA 51 - a series retrospective 👽

The truth is in here.
Why review just one Area 51 game, when you can review all 3?

Originating from the smoky, neon haze of your local cinema, bowling alley, mall, Pizza Hut, or skating rink, Area 51 was a smash hit in arcades and is remembered fondly as shiny relic of a bygone era.
In 2005, Midway developed an Area 51 FPS for home consoles and PC; well received and having sold enough copies to warrant a threequel, the next game was expected to expand upon the precedent set by the 2005 game.

Then, BlackSite: Area 51 came out...and it, uh, didn't do that.
