Singularity Impressions 0
I’m going into Singularity with high hopes. I like Raven Software. Their last two games, Wolverine and Wolfenstien, were excellent. So far with Singularity, it seems like a cross between Bishock and FEAR…just kind of boring. I’ll give it plenty of more play though, as I have yet to try any of the neat physics-bending tools that are apparently in this game. The graphics don’t really stand out here, but honestly that shouldn’t be a gripe – they aren’t bad. The story is both very interesting and pretty lame. I like the Soviet-era ideas with science and whatnot, but then there’s always the cliche explanations and the random person (usually female) that happens to appear in your ear to tell you how to complete objectives. As much as I like first person shooters, some of these elements are getting old.
This is an early morning post (have yet to sleep) and I don’t feel like beefing it up at all or trying to sound like a professional journalist. So I’ll leave you with this:
BlueGamer.net Forums. Go ape-shit all in it.
Also of note, Quakecon is coming up this August and the Bluecast crew will be there. Registration information here. Apparently this year it’s all on-site to make the process smoother.
