Oh, and PS3 owners.

Amazon has this for $40, TODAY ONLY.

Yay for sales!

"Wow, this is BioShock with a less imaginative setting and worse writing."
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.

Definetly look at giving it a rent, could burn over a weekend pretty nicely!
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.

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.
The only part I really liked was the
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.

"Not as good" as HL2/Bioshock =/= "Not so good."

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.
