I read a preview of this in Edge magazine. They couldn't stop comparing their game to Half Life 2. "We will do for time, what Half Life 2 did for physics!"
I think I read Half Life 2 about fifty times in the preview.
That said, the examples they showed of time warping back then weren't that impressive. It didn't seem like there was much imagination put into it. For example they had this train, you had to get on it's roof, but the train leaves the station before you could possibly get to it. Of course you reverse time and bam there's the train for you to jump on. But that's really just like a bloody moving platform puzzle in any other game (think Quake's train plats) exept it doesn't return to give you another go - you have to use your time majig instead.
I'd think up something more elaborate and interesting for my game, if I had that feature in it.
