Sampling of Atari's temporally fluxing shooter comes to GameSpot next week. Single-player demo includes one full level.

PC gamers with lots of time on their hands are about to get even more. This Monday, GameSpot will be hosting the single-player demo of TimeShift, a new shooter from Atari. The game was developed by Saber Interactive, the team behind 2003's Will Rock.

In TimeShift, gamers suit up as test pilot Colonel Michael Swift who travels back in time. Unfortunately, things aren't as he remembered, and an evil overlord has taken ahold of the world. Using a top secret, multimillion-dollar suit, Swift can alter time, slowing, freezing, and rewinding it at will. Of course no evil overlord has been defeated with just a fancy suit, so Swift will come strapped with weapons and vehicles.

The single-player demo will feature one full level of the retail version of the game. In it, players will infiltrate a heavily guarded building in order to make contact with a rebel on the top floor.

TimeShift is rated M for Mature and will retail for $49.99 when it is released on March 21. An Xbox version will also be released that day, with an Xbox 360 version coming sometime after.
