    Finished this game last night, review will follow soon enough.
     
    I had an amazing time with this game, I really enjoyed the setting and all the little things the devs did to make it seem real and to pull you further in to it. I did get a very strong Bioshock feel from it, but I don't think that was a bad thing as Singularity made up for that with tight controls and fun weaponary.
     
    Yet another awesome game that hardly anyone will enjoy (probably).

    good action game, but its too MW2-y, which was a disappointment. i was expecting more of a Bioshock vibe

    It's a great game that has some nice HL2 and BioShock vibes too it while still maintaining a sense of originality and for that I have to say I really did enjoy the game. Hoping this is one that made enough of a financial gain to warrant a sequel.

    I doubt it. Game sales have been down across the industry, Raven is pretty much been focused on CoD and I just checked that Singularity didn't even make the top 10 for June NPD numbers.

    @Ahmad_Metallic - What do you mean too MW2? I thought the "aiming down the sights" felt very MW2 with the assault rifle, but that was all for me.
     
    Pity about it not doing well in terms of sales, I'm not surprised though. In this era games that aren't marketed up the a*** rarely generate high profits. It's such a shame, there is a lot of potential if another game was made in that franchise.
     
    I will stay hopeful though, you never know.

    I've heard pretty mixed things about this game, and since there's no demo of it on XBL then it's hard to know if I should get it

    @Ultimadark: I would say it's an ideal rental, depending of course how long you get them for. My store rents games for a week, which is more than enough time to play through it numerous times exploring all the environments and looking into the history of the story. 
     
    Can't comment on the MP side of it as I have yet to complete a full match, but what I've played is quite fun. Definitely don't see it being a killer MP title though.

    @JTB123: The only problem is that I live in Sweden, and there are hardly any places (I don't know any) that rent out video games here :(

    Though to be fair Singularity came out towards the end of June, so it may show up in this month's results

    I really enjoyed. I had some trouble with some graphical issues particularly in the early parts of the game to do with the movement of the game and the peripheral vision getting a little double image. But I noticed it less and less through out the game and once I adjusted to the aiming I had a great time. Definately one of the better games I have played right through this year in my opinion.

    It's werid in a few gaming magazines that I have read lately, I have seen many full page Singularity advertisements, maybe Activision have realised that this game is actually worth promoting?

    I picked this up last night for $25. Best Buy had it on sale for $40 and I had $15 in Reward Zone certificates. I've only played a couple of hours, just about long enough to get the TMD, and am really enjoying it.
     
    On a side note, I picked up Raven's Wolfenstein for about $12 a couple of weeks ago. It's not near as good as Singularity, but quite a deal at that price.
