TIME SHIFT - a gayme revuuv

Statutory warning: Well….this one is for guys who know atleast something about FPS. And if you have no idea what an FPS is, then skip this blog, don’t read, you will die of complications in your head.

I finally got hold of the so called elite game of the year TIMESHIFT (not ‘timeshit’), and guess what I’m writing a game review. TIMESHIFT is a first person shooter game in which you have the ability to manipulate time and do cool stuff with guns.


Story: It all starts at a lab where the villain namely Dr. Aiden Krone steals the ALPHA suit and plants a bomb in the lab and travels time to the future. And while all this happens, we (and don’t forget…….we have no name but, maybe we have a name and I had no patience to hear all the dialogues said in the irritating videos) take the more advanced BETA suit and travel time while the bomb explodes. Now this alpha suit and beta suit are time travelling suits designed for safer travelling through time by a human being. This Krone guy had no patience at all. If he had some, then he would have taken the beta suit………..but hey….he had to take the alpha suit. Back to story. We get to Krone’s world and start killing Krone goonies with cool guns and all with the help of Occupants (guys who got mad when Krone took over the city). The videos are irritating because they are often shown when we are doing something really serious, still we can’t ignore them. We finally kill Krone and destroy his Sentinel……….yeah. We come back after that to our old times when the bomb is just about to go off and we save the lab by diffusing the bomb.

Goodies: Majority of things about this game is certainly awesome. We have a time control bar which shows how much time we can control. We are honed with abilities like time pause, time slowing and also time rewind. There is also another option called proper time manipulation in which we get more time to do things that we do. The time shift system recharges itself and the good thing is that our life is also recharged. Lots of guns are available. Sticky grenades are also there. We can pause time and shoot at guys or vehicles, all the bullets will accumulate near it and when the time resumes, all bullets strike at once………..GUHAHAHA. We can even snatch guns from goonies during time pause. Game has excellent graphics and also offers excellent game play. Has lot of unlockables (even the picture of Krone’s dad is unlockable).

Baddies: Your will need the latest driver files to play this game and the minimum recommendations itself tear our pockets. Game can cause system crashes. Lamp posts cannot be destroyed. We cannot shoot at our allies. Irritating videos in between game play. Only three weapons can be carried at once. Last level is horrible. Goonies and even Krone is incompetent. We have the superior suit which obviously makes Krone easy to defeat and that also just with a head shot in the end.

Cheats: Go to hell. We are playing god in this game. Playing it clean is the only thing fun about this game.

Rating: I’ll give it an 8.5………………after all it’s just ‘maujama’.



hey and the minimum requirements a pc should have for playing this gayme follows:
Intel pentium 4, 2.0GHz or AMD equivalent
1 gb of ram
8gb hdd space
ge-force 6600 128mb, with pixel shader 2.0 b or equivalent card
