Pro-G (www.pro-g.co.uk) has taken a look at the upcoming Xbox 360 and PC FPS TimeShift (http://www.pro-g.co.uk/xbox360/timeshift/preview-233.html). It's come on quite nicely since its less than impressive PC demo.
With games like Gears of War raising the bar in terms of presentation, TimeShift (http://www.pro-g.co.uk/xbox360/timeshift/preview-233.html) looks a little dated in comparison, but it's still got a next-gen vibe. Character models - especially during in-engine cutscenes - look great, and there's plenty of next-gen tech going on, including normal mapping and parallax mapping, as seen in Perfect Dark Zero. The audio has been completely re-recorded since the demo hit the internet, and Hollywood actors will voice the main characters. What's more, Saber Interactive are targeting 60 fps for the Xbox 360 version, which would be nice to see on a platform starved of silky smooth games.

It was BAD. I'll have to wait for reviews to know for sure, but this is just a run of the mill crappy game as far as I'm concerned.

They should sell the game for $30 and make a bunch of extras to purchase through marketplace.

I think they should release single player games over live at 30 bucks and then if you want more content (IE, new missions, new characters, weapons, items) you pay for small addons. Then, if you want multiplayer, you pay the other 30. If you dont give a shit about one, you just pay for the other.

That works for me. Sadly, this is going to be at $60 and someone will buy it for that price.

I don't like this policy actually. Why not just release good games? then people won't have to wonder whether they'll want it or not.

I've been asking that for 20+ years.

I still have hopes for this game. I saw what I thought they wanted to do, and I like the idea of it.

I played both the PC and 360 demo and was very underwhelmed by it.
