360 - BlackSite: Area 51 - GameFly: Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect Unshakeable This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending December 3rd, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart.

This week's top five all-platform requests show little movement once again, after last week saw the list barely ruffled. Assassin's Creed still takes the top spot for a third week with Mass Effect in second for its second week in a row.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which spent the last two weeks at number four, slips a bit to the fourth spot to make room for Kane and Lynch: Dead Men to move up one spot into the fourth spot, but that's the only movement -- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune stays at number five, where it entered last week.

360 - BlackSite: Area 51 - Blacksite in November For Pc and 360 Midway also confirmed to Eurogamer this afternoon that Blacksite: Area 51 will launch on PC and 360 in November.

However, it will definitely not be joined by the PS3 version, which looks like it might not show up until next year.

But unfortunately Midway remained coy over revelations that the promised online co-operative play had been dropped from the final game, after IGN unearthed its absence in a recent hands-on play test.

360 News | BlackSite: Area 51
In an interview in UK videogame trade paper MCV, a Midway representative has made the interesting claim that BlackSite (its forthcoming sci-fi FPS) will actually benefit from going up against Halo 3. "BlackSite will absolutely benefit from the popularity of Halo, and stands a fair chance of hitting number one," Aidan Minter, European brand manager for the company told MCV. And while we're not going to say he's wrong per se, it does seem like a fairly bold claim, don't you think? With a TV ad ... » Read More

360 - BlackSite: Area 51 - Blacksite Area 51 Next Demo to Include Co-op? A second Blacksite: Area 51 is apparently due next month and may well include co-op according to the game's producer Mike Jones. Mike also admitted the previous demo (which you can still download from Marketplace) was rather short but the next one will be much longer. "Next month, there will be a full length demo," he said. "The previous demo was a short one, it was just a teaser. The demo next month may have co-op and there will be multiplayer components to the demo."
