This week, I decided to play singularity for the PC. You play as Captain Nathaniel Renko who is set off to Katorga-12 (an fictional island used by the Russians during the Cold War) with partner Captain James Devlin to investigate the island because of a sudden electromagnetic surge which damaged an American satellite. Near Katorga-12, another electromagnetic discharge causes the helicopter to crash separating Renko and Devlin. On the island you fight for survival from mutants and corrupted Russian soldiers and later fights to change the present time. Renko phases between 1955 and 2010 throughout the game and he learns more about the past and how he changed it when he saved Doctor Nikolai Demichev from the past during his time travel back to 1955 near the beginning of the game.
I personally thought the game was great. The sound and graphics really enhanced the game atmosphere. The gameplay was great, you get to use upgradable weapons and a kick ass time-manipulating device which can do many things, from repairing objects by converting them to the past to mutating a soldier. I wanted to keep playing to learn more about the story.
NOTE: The trailer is off, Renko doesn't arrive in a jet or start off with the time manipulation device, he arrives in a helicopter with Devlin and Renko finds the time manipulation device on the island.
GDW: I've stopped my holiday break mood and begun to work on our group game (wow five weeks in the semester, then again I don't worry much about my part, I have a lot of experience in programming), I'll start working heavily on the programming (been slowly brainstorming and designing in the past weeks, everyone group member's part must fit properly in the final game) and will try to get other group members to start earlier so I will have all the resources from them when I need it (previous year, much stress when I didn't get the other group members parts or when they were done very, VERY poorly. Unfortunately, they aren't in the program anymore).
