So, I have Area 51. I haven’t played it, yet. In fact, I haven’t even read any reviews of it. The most I’ve read about this game is the average score that I’ve seen on GameRankings.com and several words from John Romero.

See, I want to like this game. Really bad. I feel a tinge of sadness whenever I think of John Romero. He’s kind of like John Lennon. Well, except that John Romero hasn’t ever been shot. That I know of. Well, there was Daikatana… he kind of shot himself in the foot… anyway.

As I played Doom 3, I couldn’t help thinking to myself, “Would this game have been better if John Romero had been designing the levels?”

Well, I hope to find an answer to that question as I play Area 51. I understand that Romero only helped design the multiplayer levels. But, I just want to see something with his name attached to it do well.
