Timeshift gets a 8.5 from IGN(AU)

Very unexpected.  I didn't even bother to dl the demo since I've heard nothing but bad things about it.

TimeShift may not be Halo 3 or The Orange Box, but with its entertaining single player game and cleverly implemented multiplayer, it’s well worth a look. In fact, with a decent online community this could become one of the most interesting multiplayer shooters out there. Still have doubts? Chances are they’ll disappear around the time you sticky grenade an enemy twenty metres into the sky in slow motion, separating him from his weapon, which spins gracefully through the air into your waiting arms. Or perhaps it’ll be the first time you stop an opponent dead in his tracks with a perfectly thrown time stop bubble and unload clip after clip into his soon to be dead body. Good times.

the demo was pretty awesome actually.

graphics were pretty nice with REALLY good textures, the weapons were cool, and the time control powers actually felt good (not like F.E.A.R. where they felt tacked on).
