Kareem, originally TimeShift was supposed to be released much earlier.. they decided to delay it to improve the game, which was a good decision.. I think it was just unfortunate that they were not able to improve the game prior to COD4 and Halo. Had this been released in early to mid 2007, it would have been a hit.

The other games have big and recognizeable names and TimeShift is a complete unknown. Whoever decided to release it along with COD4, Orange Box, etc is a complete idiot. With gamers pockets empty from spending their cash on big name sequals many people will overlook and forget TimeShift. Had they released this maybe earlier or even later it would have done better.

I have gone to fry’s electronics a lot in the past couple weeks and all the copies of COD4 moved (sold out actually) and there is still tons of copies of TimeShift left. It’s kinda sad cause its not a bad game. It may not be OMFG 10/10 WTF BBQ awesome revolutionary, but not bad.

I’m also surprised you enjoyed the Halo 3 campaign. Most people I know did nothing but complain about it. I’m always trying to find someone interested in running through some levels in cooperative campaign.

Joelton7, I’m sure it will be at bargain price real soon… probably another month or two. It really is a fun game that you’d probably enjoy. I definitely feel like the widespread negative reviews of the game were a little too harsh.

^I personally preferred Halo 3′s campaign to its multiplayer. I generally did prefer Halo’s story and lore over the multiplayer part (which feels a bit UT/Quake at times, which of course isn’t bad).

This game sounded really great when I saw previews of it, but the mediocre reviews I saw dotted around the place and the fact I saw it in several shops simply not selling didn’t bode well with me, however, it did and still does interest me. Perhaps when it is bargain bin, I shall get it, as I already have too many shooters as is.

Beating Halo 3 in terms of the quality of a campaign is no big feat. XD

Good review. I doubt I’ll pick it up, but I’ll keep it in the back of mah mind.
