indication of a problem production that ends up looking out of date before it's even released. Other times though it's simply evidence of ruthless perfection: thankfully TimeShift seems to be the latter. At first glance it seems like any other first person shoot `em-up, with some technically impressive but artistically ordinary visuals. What makes it unique though is the gameplay, with the best use of time travel in a game since Prince of Persia. The story of the game involves the unlikely named Aiden Krone go back in time and changing history to suit him - kind of like a more evil version of Back to the Future, Part II. However, the time travelling doesn't end there as the special suit you're strapped into to chase after him also allows you to stop, rewind or slow down time whenever you want. Since Krone has got his own version of the same kind of time suit many of the enemies can't even be properly seen under normal conditions because they're moving too fast, but there are more subtle uses for the rewind and stop powers. Slipping past guards or running through a burning building becomes child's play, while stopping time, running up to an enemy to grab his gun and then nipping back to cover to shoot him with it is just one of the game's unique pleasures. Even if Doctor Who wouldn't approve.Harrison Dent

...Timeshift is a first person shooter with a twist. The twist is that you get to have powers to use that is the best part of the game for me these powers I have explained them in detail within this review just so you know what you can do with them and such. The first power and the best one is to control time to a certain extent. All you can do is slow everything down. You have to use this power tactically because the AI is cleaver and they can kill you. You can also freeze time this was such a fun feature to use. The last feature there is to use is to rewind time but this has its uses I have only used It little so I would not think that this is very useful and do not know why they even but it in but it's there and has some uses. Timeshift does its job as a first person shooter and that is all I can say really. If you are fans of first...

Advantages: Cool Graphics (Even on a SD TV) Disadvantages: USB Ports, PS2 BWC, HDD Space
...To Start I think that the PS3 will be around much longer than the XBox 360 = PS3 is future proof, the technology automatically updates without any extra cost.
The PS3 is a must buy for any gamer who is constantly wanting to play the latest games, even is you dont currently have a HDTV it doesn't matter the PS3's graphics are outstanding on a normal Standard Definition TV, the only thing that lets the PS3 (40gb) down is the HDD Space, PS2 BW Compatatability and USB ports.
I Love the PS3 and is well worth the money, I now its not a budget console (like the 360) but by far it is truely worth every penny.
BUY/GET A PS3 NOW THIS MINUTE YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED...

Advantages: amazing piece of technology Disadvantages: it's only flaw is the way sony have managed it
...First of all I'm not a fan of either Sony or Microsoft... so this review is not biased.
I thin that the way sony have advertised and managed the ps3 is not really that good... but I'm here to review the created not the creator....
The playstation 3 is an amazing advancement in not only the gaming area but also in the home entertainment area too.
To own a ps3 is to get rid of the need for:
a CD player
a DVD player
A blu-ray player (which cost atleast three times more than the ps3, which is a good enough reason to buy a ps3 alone)
Picture storage device
and web browsing device
another games console for the next ten years
all these things make up a ps3, which is why I think the ps3 is a worthwhile buy....
