"See if you can guess what game we’re talking about: in the war-torn near future, a supersolider - outfitted in skin-tight armor - wages battle against legions of aliens/other supersoldiers. To protect his scar-ridden face, he dons a nondescript, yet sleek helmet, thereby rendering him mute and indistinguishable from everything else on sale. Give up? It’s a trick question.

You might remember our feature on the world’s most generic game character where we created our own Frankenstein-like wo..."

"Right, this is strange. The day after my rant about the PS3 not needing an in-game XMB, we get two things on the Playstation Store that ironically address the themes of discussion. High Velocity Bowling supports custom soundtracks, and the TimeShift demo allows you to bring up your friends list and read your messages.

Strange aye? It’s as if Sony was watching me write my rant, and is now putting the finger up to me and saying “suck on that!” I’m sorry Sony, you know better *cowers*.

So..."

"All those U.S. parents unable to understand and appreciate the usual ‘E for Everyone’ and ‘T for Teen’ and ‘M for Mature’ guidelines slapped onto all videogame packaging (which are provided for parents by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board) should probably think twice before purchasing the following for pesky ankle biters below the age of 17 or 18..."

"Well that was random wasn’t it?

A demo for TimeShift was released on the Xbox Live Marketplace recently today. The demo weighs in at 581.78 MB to be exact. Here is how the Marketplace describes the game:

“Dr. Aiden Krone has made a Time Jump across the space-time continuum – a reckless act with frightening consequences. Now, a disturbing alternate reality has evolved within the bleak and rain-soaked Alpha District. Armed with the experimental Beta Suit, you alone are able to slow, sto..."

"The floodgates are well and truly opening on the release avalanche that will carry us through to the New Year. There's going to be a veritable treasure trove of gaming on offer over the next few months. We've already got BioShock and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (in the States), but it's not long until the likes of Skate, Super Paper Mario (in AU), World in Conflict and Halo 3. Then after that we slide neatly into Guitar Hero III, Rock Band (in the States - did I mention curse you?), Need for ..."

"The PS3 architecture, which is very different from both PC and XBOX 360 means that development for the console is always behind that of PC and XBOX 360."

"After two delays and rumours that the project had been abandoned all together, Sierra Entertainment has today given the official nod that first-person shooter TimeShift will be released for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and PC on October 30. PlayStation 3 owners, however, will be left twiddling their thumbs until December before they can get their hands on it."

"One of the most overlooked games at this year’s E3 would probably have to be Time Shift. It’s not that the game is bad or uninventive, it’s just that there were way too many big games and not enough time for this game to get the proper coverage it deserved. So that’s why we’re bringing you some of the screenshots from the E3 business and media summit.

For those who are unfamiliar with this game, it’s basically an entire game based on the conceptual physics of bullet-time: time can be slow..."

"What remains from the previous game is as follows: You're still a guy with a fancy suit who can bend time in multiple directions, and you're still fighting alongside a ragtag rebellion against a nefarious, imperialist chrome dome named Krone. Just about everything else is different, though. You're not playing as square-jawed Colonel Swift anymore; the newly redesigned main character is encased in a full-body suit that makes him look like a high-tech cybernetic ninja. In fact, the entire story..."
