  • Abstract:  Raven Studios’ Singularity may never escape the comparisons to BioShock. Focus sharpened on the plot? Check. Special powers, upgradeable weapons, creepy enemies, and even creepier environments? Check, double check, and triple check. There are even mess...

  • Abstract:  This generation, Raven Software's releases have failed to rise above average. Their last two games, Wolfenstein and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, were both seen as good games, but neither proved to be all that memorable. That might be related to the fact t...

  Published: 2010-07-02, review by: gamechronicles.com

  • Abstract:  Singularity is one of those games that achieved near cult-like status even before it shipped thanks to a complete lack of information or typical pre-release coverage and hype we normally get from an Activision title. With release dates that kept gettin...

  • The gameplay is exciting from beginning to end; decent sense of variety with E99 abilities; TMD powers provide excellent use in and out of combat; multiplayer is engaging; sufficiently creepy and intense at the right moments,
  • Dated visuals and minor glitches; uninspired story; lack of a memorable soundtrack, or even a particular song.
  • Singularity is not the best looking shooter on the market, nor is it the most original. What it lacks in evolution, however, it completely makes up for it with pure, unadulterated fun. The pace is never slow and the excitement is always high. Though th...

  Published: 2010-06-29, review by: armchairempire.com

  • Abstract:  Ever since reading Ray Bradbury’s “A Sound of Thunder” as a kid, time travel has always been of interest to me. Raven Software’s Singularity massages that interest very well, not only with it’s own story but with its built-in references to ...

  • If you've exhausted the library of stellar games that 2010 has already produced and are looking for something to help bridge the gap into this fall, Singularity isn't a bad choice. The gunplay is solid and there are a few memorable set pieces. It is a ...

  Published: 2010-06-28, Author: Kevin , review by: cnet.com

  • Abstract:  Some games feature emotional stories with complex subtext, well-wrought characters that make us care about their fates, or philosophical implications that give thoughtful players pause. Singularity is not one of those games. While it clearly looks to n...

  • A story-driven shooter in the vein of BioShock that grants gamers with some cool powers and time-twisting abilities, creative combat options, some standout seat-of-your-pants set pieces and scripted moments
  • The Time Manipulation Device isn't implemented creatively into puzzles or exploration, not much to the multiplayer, visuals and level design feel familiar
  • Another solid shooter from Raven Software, Singularity competently marks most of the boxes on the FPS checklist. It won't dethrone the genre's best offerings, but its campy story and fun combat should keep gamers' index fingers flexed and minds engaged th...
