Version: Timeshift demo
"Fun game but needs a high-end system for medium+ settings"
Pros: Messing with time is fun. Freezing time and stealing the enemy's weapons or shooting them and see the blood spurt but freeze in midair is really cool. What's even better is when after you killed a whole squad while time is frozen then unfreeze time and the bodies will drop all at once, as if an invisible stalker took the life out of them.
Very nice particle effects.
Cons: Graphics hog. With a 6600GT, I can play this game very well at 800x600 with low details. Any higher and video latency will become an annoyance. High settings are probably designed for 6800, 7800, and x1800 (not sure about x800).
The bad thing about the video settings is that they don't give you alot of options to tweak. You only get to change Resolution, Details (low, medium, best), Vsync, and AA in the settings. "Details" changes the amount of shaders, lights, and possibly textures. You won't be able to tweak those settings individually.
Large 577.25mb download but short demo. You get into about 5 firefights and run into a couple of puzzles and it's over.
