TimeShift preview for Xbox 360

There's always room for a good first-person shooter in our view, and TimeShift, due out on the 360 this November, looks set to be a good first-person shooter. With a sci-fi plot a B-movie would be proud of - you're back in time with experimental weapons from the future - and some neat tricks up your sleeve - you can freeze, slow and stop time - there's plenty to set TimeShift apart from the herd. We've had a chance to play TimeShift this month; read our hands on preview to find out more!

You know that, since the game's based around Time-travellers, its developers must have wished for similar time-controlling abilities at several points in its development. Moving through two publishers, repeatedly delayed, presumed cancelled, radically reworked... the ability to rewind time and do it right first time must have seemed the most attractive thing. Instead, they had to persevere with their own hard work and - finally - we got hands on with almost complete code. The concept's a pure B-movie science-fiction one. Scientist with experimental armour goes bounding across dimensions and seems to find himself in 1939. Everything is mysterious at this point - Half-life is a good reference point - but he's in the middle of a warzone where humans are hunted by some clearly fascist power... but a fascist power with enormous spider monsters of a suitable size to make Halo's Scarabs look like Daddy Long-legs. You're in trouble. Luckily, you have a certain time-shifting advantage. Click here to continue reading our TimeShift preview for Xbox 360 now!
