Timeshift

Now this game is a beauty. Derivative of Half Life 2, FEAR and even a bit of no one Lives Forever 2 in there. Some stunning textures and with the patch applied, I'm getting 70-100 fps on 1920 res with all maxxed out. Admittedly, that's on an 8800GTX but I've got an old Nforce4 MB and an AMD 64 4000+ processor and only 2 GB of ram.
Nice AI and well balanced difficulty with the time powers you have at your disposal. Don't buy that piece of crap, Jericho. Remind yourself that gaming is fun and buy this. It'll tide you over until we get 'that other game with a suit'.

This game deserves to do very well. I'm trying to raise it's profile a little so they make a sequel. It's the best fun I've had with an FPS in a long time.
And the graphics are stunning. Ugly in places yes, just like real life. A ruined building is not going to look pretty is it?
Everything about this game is pretty spot on. The physics, graphics, AI, the weapons and the variation of locations. I enjoyed this game AT LEAST as much as Half Life 2 when that first came out.

Really glad everyone's enjoying it. I've begun to think the online gaming journalists are corrupt with some of the reviews this has received. This game deserves to do very well. And it runs like lightning on even a modest system.
Pump the graphics up and it looks gorgeous with some very detailed textures/bumpmaps.

This game is SUPPOSED to be linear. It doesn't claim to be anything other than an FPS with some quirky powers. Quirky powers which you actually NEED to use.
But what the game does, it does well. As an avid FPS gamer with an unlimited game budget, I can vouch that it does it far better than most games out there.
