In Singularity, you fight your way through an ever-shifting environment haunted with time ravaged creatures, while sudden time waves hurl you back and forth between 1950 and the present day. Use your wits and the perfect weapon - the Time Manipulation Device - to unravel the conspiracy on the remote island of Katorga-12.

Release date(s) - June 29, 2010

<supposed to release this week, on the 29th>

Given that the developer, Raven Software (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_Software), has a solid history, I have high hopes for this game.

Where can I get one of those time wrist devices?

Apparently Raven Software wanted to make this game themselves, so without a deadline to work to then they had the time to polish everything up. There's an 8/10 review from Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/singularity-review) which is full of praise.

I can't help but feel that if Singularity had access to even half the resources of a Call of Duty, it would have found a better balance between its downtime and its TMD (which also never really works out in the game's insubstantial multiplayer mode). There's a fun shooter, exciting powers and some neat weapons in there, but it never quite comes together thanks to dull levels and half-baked puzzles. It's a new IP and certainly a riskier proposition than Activision's golden goose, but I'd hate for this to be the last and only word on the series.
3/5
