Blacksite: Area 51 is set to be shaping up rather nicely then. There's the promise of a fully developed and beautifully realised story here thanks to the involvement of industry figureheads like Harvey Smith and Susan O'Connor and the utterly magnificent UE3 engine which ties it all together nto one gorgeous package.

More important than any of the additions to the game and the improvements to the engine though are the things that have been pulled back and ripped out of the original template.
