Our initial skepticism regarding Blacklight: Tango Down swiftly turned into admiration. The game is built on a smart marketing concept. The summer, which is a lean and unproductive time for the industry and when few blockbusters are released, was originally planned as the release date for the title. People start actively looking for games to play in the late summer, and with blockbuster shooters promised for the fall, a well-done online shooter with reasonable pricing seemed like a smart idea.
In order to address that gap, Blacklight: Tango Down offered a Call of Duty-like experience at a low PSN fee. The issue is that getting here has taken a while. Blacklight: Tango Down had a good debut on the Xbox 360, but the PS3 version seems to have been stuck in limbo forever. Furthermore, Ignition could not have chosen a worse moment to release it—just one week before Call of Duty: Black Ops.
