Dr. Aiden Krone is a former professor of Applied Physics at MIT, notorious for his unrivaled brilliance and obsession with Thermodynamics, Advanced Propulsion, and Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). Despite his increasing tendencies to demand control and secrecy, he became the Founder and Lead Physicist of a classified Time Travel research program.

Over a decade later, Krone's program had successfully developed the world's first time-traveling suit technology. However, as the program's equally secretive decision-makers demanded this technology be adapted for military applications, Krone's feelings of self-entitlement and anger grew. He secretly desired a new existence, a new world where his scientific endeavors could be shaped and experienced without outside interference.

The combination of Krone's mind and his suit technology gave him the ability to create and control another existence - an existence where a man of science could finally operate without restrictions and do so within a place where science itself was properly respected… regardless of the effects on humanity.

It is now up to you to trace Krone's last known appearances and stop his tyrannical rule over Alpha District. In a twisted world where scientific accomplishments reign, it’s up to you to don the Beta Suit and Master Time to Become the Ultimate Weapon.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best FPS On PS3--By Far, November 23, 2007

By	Rick Raymo "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" (NorEaster) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

In short, I've never seen a game look better, run better, or play better on the PS3.
It runs with my DualShock 3? Rumble on the PS3? This has to be a first.
More? It has at least 22 hours of Single Play, some of the fastest multiplay, and the best framerates I've seen to date on this platform. What is interesting is that in a side-by-side, often folks seem to think the PS3 looks better than the Xbox 360. How often do you hear that?
Lastly, after hours and hours over the past couple of days on the highly configurable (over 40 choices for play-types, and settings) multiplayer ripping and playing well at both low and high pings?
I'm a fan. Thank you, TimeShift. There's finally a shooter (that works and works well) with PC Shooter pacing and console playability on the PS3. Happy Boy Here.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great game!!, January 15, 2008

By	Charles Frank Howard II "Charlie" (military, Bahrain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I checked the other reviews first before buying this game and wasn't sure what to expect. The beginning was okay but then the game opened up into a real good time. This isn't just a shooting game but a thought game at the same time. Learning to use the suits power to adjust time to proceed are fun. The weapons get better and better as the game progresses. I'm playing it for the second time and it's even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Underrated Shooter!, October 7, 2008

By	Joseph Izzo - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

How games like this get overlooked while mediocre games like Rainbow Six Vegas get all the hype, I'll never know. What a little gem of a game. If you're a fan of Sci Fi shooters, you'll like Timeshift. First the bad. The story is almost non existent. But what it lacks in story, it makes up for in gameplay. In the beginning, I found using the time shifting abilities a little cumbersome. But once you get used to it, boy does this game get fun. The graphics are excellent, the guns are cool. The environments are varied and challenging. The enemies are smart and will flank you fast. The game never feels redundant. One of Timeshift's greatest assets however is the checkpoint system. I HATE games where if you die, you have to repeat the last 6-10 minutes of gameplay you just finished before you died. This can ruin what might be an otherwise decent game. That never happens in Timeshift. The checkpoints are perfectly placed. It becomes apparent that the developers put autosaves just before really challenging parts. A huge plus! All I can say is don't let this game pass you by. I am a fan of shooters like Resistance, Halo, Call Of Duty franchise, and in my opinion Timeshift is just as worthy a shooter.
