If Bioshock and Wolfenstein had a child out of a steamy night of passion, they would probably call it Singularity. The latest offering from Raven Software, best known for the Soldier of Fortune franchise and the rather entertaining X-Men Origins: Wolverine, who have combined the best elements of both games to create a highly enjoyable time-bending experience.
Singularity puts the player in the shoes of an American special forces operative, the oddly Russian sounding Nate Renko, who is sent to investigate odd power readings originating from an abandoned Russian island. From the offset, the whole mission goes south as the chopper crashes and Renko begins to have visions, echoes from the past. After being ‘teleported’ 50 years into the past the player interferes with events and inadvertently changes the course of history. As usual, it will be up to the player to set things right; preferably before any other major cock-ups can be made.
