Singularity is a video game developed by Raven Software to be published by Activision and released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The game takes place on a mysterious island known as "Katorga-12" where Russian experiments involving "E99" took place during the height of the Cold War era. Sometime during 1950, a terrible catastrophe known as the "Singularity" occurred on the island, causing the island's very existence to be covered up by the Russian government. The player controls Nate Renko, a Black Ops soldier who is sent to investigate bizarre radiation emissions coming from the island, only to crash land there. After regaining consciousness, Nate finds the TMD (Time Manipulation Device) and discovers that the island is constantly shifting between the time periods of 1950 and 2010. He also encounters Victor Barisov, the scientist in charge of the Katorga-12 experiments who reveals that a man named Nikolai Demichev is on the island to try to restart them on a much larger scale, which could cause an unthinkable disaster. During the quest to stop Demichev, the player will have to deal with hostile Russian forces in both time periods, and the hideously mutated flora, fauna and former residents of the island, some of which have developed time manipulation powers of their own.

I was introduced to the Gears series shortly after I picked up my first Xbox 360. Before I played it, I was told it was going to be a gritty, bloody experience. I’d be inclined to agree with that assessment. Shortly after I finished the first game, Gears 2 came out and I put days worth of time into Horde, multi-player, and the co-op campaign. That being said, I figured that I’d be super excited to get back into the Gears world and mow down some Locust.

Gears of War 3 concludes an excellent trilogy with engrossing cooperative play, taut competitive action, and a masterful campaign.

Gears of War 3 is a fantastic follow-up that answers important questions about the nature of the Gears universe while backing it all up with an even bigger, better multiplayer suite.

Singularity creates an interesting world and uses its time-bending abilities to craft a fun story that's worth seeing through to the end.

A fine shooter that experiments with time manipulation more aptly than any game since Braid.

This entertaining and varied sci-fi shooter doesn't break new ground; it's just a bunch of goofy, gory fun.
