(Xbox 360)
Developer: Treyarch Publisher: Activision Platforms: Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Always bet on black There are times when I lament the rampant “sequelitus” that's taken hold of the videogame industry, when nearly every new release is another addition in some ongoing franchise and where original titles (like the criminally overlooked Enslaved: Odyssey to the West) are often relegated to the bargain bin.

Rising from the corpse of Half-Life 2 and sewn together with bits of BioShock, chunks of Raven’s own Wolfenstein and even a dash of TimeShift, Singularity is far from the most original game out there. But it does actually have a few new tricks up its sleeve, the neatest of which is that... read more
