"We were literally seven bugs away from finishing the game and then [Sierra president Mark] Tremblay comes in and asks us -- what would you do with this game if you had more time and money?" Sierra representative Erik Reynolds says, watching the gunfight on the LCD TV sitting in front of him, "Then we had all these ideas..."
So began the third incarnation of TimeShift, in which the development crew ripped the game in two and almost completely rebuilt it. What started as a "break even" project for the developer after it bought the game from Atari two years ago, has turned into something that looks worthy of current-gen console and -- provided everything comes together seamlessly -- a game that could deliver something fresh to the often staid first-person shooting genre.
TimeShift had a fairly muted launch in 2007, and while it doesn't rewrite the FPS rulebook it does offer an enjoyable campaign even now.
Never heard of this game until someone mentioned it here last year. Played it and it basically represents most games from the PS3/Xbox360 era—good graphics, amazing physics, and extremely fun gameplay (time powers rock), but barely any story, weird pacing, and at least one annoying AF level. I finished Prototype last week and the same applies, except Strike Teams. Fuck Strike Teams.
I miss when ganes used to experiment with physics and world interaction

Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
