Xbox/PC Preview - 'TimeShift'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Pre - E3 2005
Genre : Action
Publisher: Atari
Developer: Saber Interactive
Release Date: Fall 2005
If there’s one thing I took away from Time Shift, it’s slow-motion clouds of gore.
As the name might suggest, Time Shift is concerned with issues of time-travel, and grants the player the ability to stop, slow down, or totally rewind time around his onscreen self.
This allows you, among other things, to blow a man into a messy red spray, complete with flying chunks of human meat, then stop time so you can admire the effect. It’s really very Jackson Pollock, in its way.
When that wears thin, you

by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - E3 2005 May 18th
Following a great increase in terrorism, internal strife, and ultimately, the nuclear destruction of Washington, D.C., the United States shatters into a half-dozen nation-states that descend into war. Take the helm of one of these newfound sovereignties (or the "peacekeeping" European Expeditionary Force) and struggle to reunify America...by any means necessary! PopTop Software, the developers of the Railroad Tycoon and Tropico series, turn their focus on a much darker subject matter with Shattered Union, a turn based strategy-wargame in which players fight tactical battles in a variety of known locations in an attempt to reunify the United States by force.
