games: timeshift
Thursday, November 29, 2007 at 3:39PM
Just had a quick blast on the Timeshift demo on the XBOX 360. Not impressed. The graphics, which we should remember may be better in the actual release build, are decidedly last-gen, looking little better than some games available on the original XBOX.
It's also horribly unoriginal - even more so than most FPSs. The population-under-siege freedom fighter storyline, complete with condescending loudspeaker warnings from a bearded dictator-type, are straight out of Half-Life 2. And the added "Time-shift" dynamic, which allows users to slow down and manipulate time, has also been done before. It also borrowed heavily from the stylisation of Deus Ex: Invisible War.
I won't be buying.

Some time ago, I really needed to buy a house for my firm but I did not earn enough cash and could not order anything. Thank God my brother proposed to try to take the loan from trustworthy creditors. Thus, I acted so and was happy with my student loan.
