Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is a novel idea on paper, but is ultimately let down by its shooter by numbers gameplay and under par presentation. When there have been lots of WWII shooters in the past and a general vibe that gamers are somewhat tired of the theme, then you'd think as a developer you'd really try and make something memorable and special.
Sadly Spark have failed to do so, and with all the hype they made prior to the game's release, it seems they are somewhat out of touch as to what makes a compelling and amazing gaming experience. For the most part, MSXbox World gleaned as much fun a they could from the game, but with no real redeeming features to keep me hooked, everything felt lifeless and dull.

It’s time to wander through the Game Graveyard. A haunting, foggy location in which overlooked and forgotten video games rot under the murky surface of the earth. Unmarked tombstones litter the landscape and the tears of developers that once floated upon the air are now just dissonant wails in the distance.
Not all First Person Shooters will go do in history as a legend. What about the shooters that didn’t quite hit the mark? The hidden gems or the forgotten ‘next big thing’ which didn’t even turn out to be a small thing? Or perhaps the first-person shooter that was so damned awful that everybody tried to forget it exists?
HAZE = LMAO
Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason = This was a nice game. The water Physics, over all physics, and eye candy were TOP NOTCH thus the high system requirements. Nice pick up for those who couldn't run it on Ultra back in the day.
Project: Snowblind was a pretty awesome game that never got the love it deserved.
Oh, come on... Some of these are good. XIII, Cryostasis, and NOLF are my favorites on here. Nobody forgot NOLF though. Huge fan base for the two original titles!
But then we see Haze and Legendary. Seriously? Legendary is horrible! No gamer would say otherwise. It's just trash.
Shawn Long of GAMINGtruth.com takes a look at yet another game that had potential to be great, but just fell flat on it's face.
I remember being excited before booting up this game's demo. I had hoped, like you, that the creators would live up to the story. Sadly, it just didn't happen.
Man, when this came out, I was dying for it to be awesome!
Sadly, that wasn't the case. Great article!
