TimeShift

TimeShift seemed destined for the game store dead-and-buried bin. Atari dumped the game over a year ago, deciding it was too crappy, even by Atari's crappy standards. Sierra picked it up, and gave it a soup-to-nuts makeover. The result: A surprising amount of awesomeness. Though it can't possibly trump the mighty BioShock or The Orange Box, it does feature tons of slow-motion-guys-flying-in-reverse-while-their-guts-fly- everywhere moments, which we are total suckers for. The single-player campaign is rock-solid, and online multiplayer is surprisingly fun. Finally, this remains the only game in history where you can freeze time, run up to a dude, take his gun from his hands, creep behind him, start time, then wait for him to turn around and see the look on his stupid face before you ventilate him.
