Timeshift Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The ability to manipulate time is but one of the many interesting and fun facets of this FPS.Not unlike F.E.A.R. you can slow down time (bullet time) and rush your enemies in order to take them out before they can even draw their weapons.Timeshift takes that a step further by giving you the ability to stop time alltogether or to reverse time.It's a novel concept, but it is starting to get a little tired.That being said, it doesn't necessarily detract from the overall experience of Timeshift.The graphics look pretty polished (still not as good as Gears of War) and it's pretty amazing to watch explosions in reverse time.I experienced some mild framerate issues during one timeshift, but it hasn't happened again.There are many situations that require you to manipulate time in order to get through the level.For example, a hallway might get decimated before you have a chance to walk through it.No problem.Simply reverse time, watch the hallway reassemble, and you're on your way.There's a little bit of platforming, lots of shooting, and plenty of bodies flying to satisfy most FPS fans.I guess the only real downside is that it resembles F.E.A.R. too much in it's gameplay.There isn't any real horror element to speak of though.The plot of Timeshift does mirror F.E.A.R. in that you are pursuing a crazed leader bent on domination, just in an alternate reality so to speak.Despite it's similarities to F.E.A.R. I still recommend this title.The ability to manipulate time is enough to keep you satisfied and intrigued.

NCAA Football 09 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked this game up to replace last year's version, and as a huge fan of college football I was pleased to see some neat additions (such as icing the kicker) that became a big part of the lexicon during last year's crazy season.

If you've played any of the games in the NCAA series, you know what to expect. Some new features for this year's version include "celebrating with the mascot" where you can run over to the mascot after running a touchdown and perform an animated celebration (mascot worshiping you/dancing around/etc.). The sideline players/cheerleaders/coaches actually exist this year, unlike in NCAA 08 when they mysteriously weren't on the sidelines during a game. You'll see cheerleaders dancing, players on the sidelines getting out of your way, etc. so the stadium atmosphere is much more alive than it was in last year's version.

Some new gameplay options are tweaks to the way running plays work. No longer can you just click 'go' and push forward, you can now find and exploit holes in the defense, you can get your offensive line to shift to one side to cover your option play, you can basically fine-tune your plays a bit more (as well as bluff your play art when playing side-by-side with a friend, something you couldn't do before).

On passing plays, you no longer have to worry about the AI intercepting the ball constantly. If they aren't facing it, they won't catch it. If you throw it directly into coverage though, do expect to be picked off.

Tackling has been upgraded, as has evasion. You can evade tackles if you know what you are doing, and you can also one-arm tackle, hit the player so hard they bust a flip and fall flat on their back, and basically do much more than just dive and pray like in NCAA 08.

Other neat features such as online dynasty mode, the ability to set up songs from playlists to play when certain things happen, downloading rosters, etc. give you much more in terms of having customization over your game.

Basically, each particular area in the game has been tweaked in just the right areas, and this is much more of a transition than 07 was to 08.

Bottom line: If they take what they have here and improve it for NCAA 10 then you can expect me to be a happy gamer for a while to come.

My only caveat with the PS3 version (I have both 360 and PS3) is that the controls are not quite as fluid.More often than not I was passing to the wrong guy, or lobbing the football like a girl.This is probably just due to the sixaxis way of handling the game, but maybe also because I was leaned back when playing and it probably didn't like that orientation.Otherwise - excellent choice for your system.
