That's exactly what went through my head when I played it. Down to the letter.
Take BioShock, remove all the good stuff, replace it with Call of Duty stuff, add a couple of Half Life rip-offs for good measure and turn all the letter "R"s round. That's Singularity in a nutshell.
It won't. It may burn a night then about an hour or so the next day, but if you play videogames for 5 to 7 hours at a time, you'll clear through this in just about that.Jaredin said:
My god! A game from Activision not being original? What has the world come to? /sarcasm
In all seriousness, I think that it's impressive that Raven got a New IP published at activision, and I;m glad that it's good. Maybe this will lead to more new IPs coming out of activision.

Wow, from the looks of the video, Singularity looks just like BioShock. I'll admit that it does look interesting, though. It may be a rent someday.
Gah it came out?? When? How? There was an ad for it last year sometime, then we heard crickets chirping louder than the press over it. Good, I finally might get to play it...Can't wait.
It's a good game, in fact it's one of the only games that has a strong single player story line lately. Tell me I'm wrong please, maybe you could give me some examples of games that don't suck lately? I don't know, but IMO this game was fantastic, suspenseful, has some replay value (If you want to beat the whole game again to get different endings rather than just start right before the game ends). There are also a lot of little fun easter eggs and the like.
I played it, was fun for a while but not that great.

good ending. It's quite the "player punch" - literally.
It's a very fun game. I thought the story was well told, and I enjoyed how it kind of showed the consequences of messing with time (in a cheesy sci-fi sort of way). Using the TMD is quite fun, especially when you get the impulse and time statsis powers upgraded. I personally do not regret buying it. Too bad about the absent marketing, because I think this game has the potential for being a solid sleeper hit.
What was "Not so good." about it? I didn't hear one critiscism in that whole review. :/
I'm set on buying this, I've been waiting for it's release for a while.

Hehe Rolly-Poly Gun....
and can't your magic time glove rewind time on people and turn them into embryo?
Also, its the same basic premise of TimeShift except with a magic glove right?

I always love the "slow time and shoot" sniper guns because I always think of the sniper in the PS3's Resistance. It ended up being the single greatest close-combat weapon since a headshot was an instant kill and the time-slow gave you enough time to line one up from *any* range.
I played Singularity and its a pretty decent game. The Seeker Rifle is great fun and the minigun us very good for relieving stress.
Plus you can use the TMD to steal a shield troopers shield...then hit him in the face with it. However, I haven;t tried hitting peopler with their ex-comrades in arms yet...

Have had my eyes on this one for a year but don't know when I'm going to buy it. Might wait for the review in Pc Gamer too.
Having played the game myself it's pretty fun but it feels like there is a lot of unsued ponteinal a large majority of the game takes place in the present and you only go back in time to 1955 a few times. (one of those times feeling aboustly pointless) and the best one being at the very begening of the game. But one thing I did like that kept me playing was of course the TMD it's a very cool gameplay device (espically the deadlock power which you can see in the video) and I found it a lot easier to use catching gernades and thorwing them back to pepople then Half-life 2's gravity gun and bioshock's telkinesie plasimid. Also if you watch early videos of Singularitys gamplay ( Thers a few on the X-play website) you relazie the story has gone therw A LOT of changes and the end result isn't really all that impersive ( I fingured out the games big twist at the begening) But as said before I like this game and hope it does well enough to make a squel becuase I think if it had a little more poslish and captilzed on the idea more like at the games begining this game could have been truely remarakble.
I recomend a rental just to try out the TMD for yourself

This isn't fair. Every time I have a good idea, some big gaming company takes it and doesn't even do it justice!!!
