10 CRIMINALLY Overlooked PS3 Games

Before they were turned into one of the many studios keeping Call of Duty alive, Raven Software had some big ambitions of their own. While some know them for Wolfenstein 2009 or Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, your scribe knows them for the FPS gem, Singularity.

While reviews ranked it above average, Activision was disappointed with the sales, shooting all hopes for a continuation in the foot. Which is a shame, seeing as how Singularity is one of the most solidly built FPS games of its day.

While not on the level of Bioshock - so few things are - Singularity swings way above its weight class and holds its own remarkably well. The guns feel weighty and responsive, and the sound design of the shots is divine, especially the shotgun.

The game's central gimmick, the TMD (Time Manipulation Device) is of course the highlight of the game - allowing the player to rapidly age up or down any object or person with the fictional element, E99, in their system. Time manipulation also makes its way into the combat, with different guns having different time powers attached.

And of course, this being the Bioshock age of high-concept FPS games, Singularity's story is suitably nutty with its time travel, giving you an interesting final moral choice with a third option you may not think of your first time around.
