all games are not created equal

Both of these games take one gimmick and build an entire game around it.  In Timeshift, you can control time by slowing it down, stopping it, or rewinding.  In Wanted, you can curve bullets and shoot people in slow motion.

Even though the gimmick in Timeshift seemed really cool, it was really really lame in action.  The game played terribly and just felt cheap.

Wanted did feel cheap at times, but I still had a lot of fun curving bullets all over the place.  When you weren't curving bullets, the gunplay wasn't that terrible either.

Even though Wanted is better, you shouldn't buy it.  Especially at 60 bucks, because I beat the game in about 4 hours.  Give it a rent if you like, but there are definitely better games to play.
