DESCRIPTION

Raven Software presents an adventure for the ages in Singularity, a first-person action game that puts players in control of time itself. Set in the present day, the game's plot revolves around a science-fiction piece of equipment called the "Time Manipulation Device," or "TMD." It allows its user to send a single object (or person) forward or backward through time, relative to the world around it. The powerful device is central to both the game's puzzle-solving and combat. It could be used to age a strong iron gate blocking a path into crumbling rust, for example, or to revert an enemy soldier to a devolved, mindless, monsterous state. Players take the role of a top Air Force pilot named Nate Renko, who is sent to investigate the mysterious island known as Katorga-12, a source of powerful, indentified radiation. It appears that the island was once home to a Cold War skunk works for the Russians, and the ground zero location of a time-space disaster that occurred 60 years earlier. Time itself is now unstable on the island, as it seems to fluctuate between 1950 and 2010. Nate faces Russian soldier enemies from both time periods, as well as ferocious animals and plants that have been mutated by the radiation and unstable time-scape. Combat in the game plays out as in a first-person shooter, with conventional firearms, and later using the TMD as a ranged weapon, as well. Nate obtains the TMD early in his explorations of the island, and discovers the device's full powers as he experiments throughout his mission. In addition to quickly aging or reverting targets, the device can freeze an object in space and time, and later in the adventure, Nate learns to fire an impulse of energy that blasts enemies and object away from him. ~ T.J.

“Finished Singularity - have to admit, it was a very solid experience overall. I don't remember a single glaring bug, and the gameplay differentiated itself from the other 'fluff' FPS' out there...”

“I'm liking Singularity a lot better now that they've unlocked all the capabilities of the TMD; it actually does pretty well at being both a puzzle-solving tool as well as a very useful weapon.”

Singularity (X360) by: bendrexl

“Initial impressions: BioShock + Fallout 3 + Stalker = Singularity Visuals are good, but not quite as polished as the AAA shooters out there. Gameplay seems solid so far, though I can't shake the feeling that I've been here and seen this all...”

“Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 are still at the top of my list, but now I've got Splinter Cell: Conviction, MAG, and Uncharted 2 on there as well. All must play titles in my book.

What especially caught my eye was the PS3's work-in-progress motion control system. The potential alone is exciting, can't wait to see the finished product.”

“ Assassin's Creed 2 and splinter cell convictions are at the top of my list ,Modern Warfare 2, Prototype, and god of war 3 are also games I'm looking forward to, though I'd have to say in general I'm excited about all these games coming out.”

Abelard was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Natal products more than anything. Peter Molyneux's aspirations aside, it looks like it really can change gaming. Wii has opened a lot of doors for producers, adn Natal seems to take it to the next lvl. Now we just need to wait and see if gamers are happy to actually move. :D”

“To be honest there are some many good games that I have seen at E3. From Halo 3: ODST to Alan wake to Natal. However the only game that got me as giddy as a school girl was SWTOR. Even though I like console games more.”
