    I've heard very little about any of those games. Are they any good?

    The Suffering I know is given decent marks, but I'm pretty certain Area 51 got razzed something awful for being extremily mediocre.

    This really does beg the question, though, of why the Air Force is giving away Army-oriented games.

    I remember this from a while ago.


    And I still think it's hi-fucking-larious that the Air Force is sponsoring Area-51.

    Area 51 is one of the worst games I have ever played. I wouldn't even download it for free.

    Now is it "Blacksite: Area 51" or just "Area 51" that's being offered?

    Close enough; thinking about it it actually looks like they ripped off the Enclave stuff from 2 quite a bit.

    It's The Suffering: The Ties That Bind, which is the sequel.

    I like how, even though these are all free, everyone's just like, "Eh."


    ...myself included, really. Though I don't know anything about Rise and Fall... maybe that's good.

    I've heard the Hero mode is a cool idea but overall the game is mediocre. It's the one I downloaded.

    do these games come with free subliminal messaging? otherwise this has to be the worst recruitment technique ever.

    Darn, I thought this was going to be a port of the arcade shooter.

    There was a thread about this a while ago... good times. Also, make it four, since you can also get Full Spectrum Warrior for free.

    What's with all the Area 51 hate? David Duchovny is a shitty actor, but the gameplay was not horrible. It wasn't great, but it was a half-decent shooter.

    I reviewed Area 51 for Etoychest back in the day. I went in expecting complete garbage and came out having played a really good game.

    Oh, I know that, rented the Xbox version. Gameplay might seem a bit old after all this time, but it's pretty soild in it's own right.

    I've also played Rise & Fall. It was ok... It's basicly an Age of Empires/blizz RTS clone with the ability to directly take control of your hero in a Sacrifice-eque way... though not nearly as fun as in that game...

    The same site also has ad "supported" Psi Ops. Although, it's sponsored by a shoe company if I remember correctly. I wonder if there's a full list anywhere of all these games. It's an interesting idea to get some money out of old games to say the least.
