New TimeSplitters!

Longtime readers know my Timesplitters / Free Radical love. As much as I'm stoked about Haze, I was worried that game and the "Secret LucasArts Project" were going to shaft F.D.'s next Timesplitters, a la Halo to Oni (back in the day).

If you're not a fan of the franchise -- you're broken. Fortunately, Kataku's Mike Fahey sums up why you should be:

"I've always found the Timesplitters series to be the among most entertaining and technically proficient console FPS games ever created, plus I get to be a monkey in multiplayer which is a selling point no matter what genre your game is."

Want more? Free Radical's Steve Ellis says "they're 'gearing' up to insert monkeys and guns into all the wrong places".

Nice ...
