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.

Life evolves as does Combat. I love that there are so many games coming out my backlog is larger than I will ever hope finish. I love that my wife hasn’t killed me yet for each time I bring another unopened game into our home. And I love that I’ve gotten to spend some time playing Halo CE over the internet with a longtime friend, even if we haven’t been able to beat it yet.

It's easy enough to look past the original Halo's more dated qualities given Anniversary's tasteful visual refresh and a combat formula that's still plenty exciting.

This reboot of Master Chief's first adventure is an exciting, if aged experience.

A unique tribute to all things Halo fall just short of being a revolutionary package.

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.
