Apparently Singularity is really good.
So a few of my friends have thrown lavish praise at this game, and now I read this about it on Gameradar.

Quote:
Letting a decent game die is a big mistake. Letting one of the best FPSes of the year die is foolhardy. Outright killing said FPS when it’s made by one of the most dependable devs in gaming and could do a great deal to benefit both their and your fortunes? That’s just unforgivable.
But that’s what Activision did to Singularity. A shameless grab-bag of ideas from the best shooters of the last ten years, it transcended its magpie roots by blending and reworking its influences into a new and exciting configuration of imaginative, inventive and satisfying good-times. Following the misfiring Wolfenstein, long-time id collaborator Raven Software worked its collective balls off to make Singularity awesome, and the love lavished upon it drips off the screen during every minute of its brilliantly-paced duration.
But the game has one major failing. It doesn’t have the words “Call” “of” or “Duty” in its title, and so it was sent out to die without a bit of publicity. Even we had no idea how good it was until we finally got to give it a proper play after it was released. We’ve been doing our best to retroactively promote it ever since then, but there’s only so much you can do when you’re playing catch-up.
Anyone played it?

I've been meaning to get it. Probably gonna do it soon.

Finished the Predator campaign last night. I thought it was much better than the Alien one.

Didn't even realize it came out already (June 2010) since I thought it was still being worked on or comes out in 2011.

I'm not surprised at what Activision did since last year Kotick hinted at unless your an established developer with Activision, no permission or promotion of new IPs. Its a very stupid idea but Activision wants cash cows and not risks that might not be worth a series.

Will probably bargain bin it. I've got a stack of shooters to go through still, so no hurry.

The Giant Bomb guys had pretty good praise for it; spent a ton of time talking about it on their podcast when it came out. They didn't make it sound incredible on anything, but it definitely sounds worth a pick up when it hits a 10-15 bucks.

I played it. Beat it. Honestly, it feels like CoD control-wise plus one little perk that's actually the coolest thing about the game. It also has a fright factor to it that just feels fresh as far as Activision games go. It may get confusing to start but if you push yourself past the 2nd chapter just keep going straight to the end. The online play is even a bit fun.
