GameInformer- I love TimeSplitters. Actually, I loved it. We haven’t seen a new entry in the series for more than seven years, so it’s inevitable that I have to switch to the past tense. That sucks.

Now this is a great article, this is what n4g use to be. Good articles with tons of information unlike the n4g of today that's all about fanboy wars mainly ps4 fanboys

We need TS4 now, too many generic shooters
