There will be no shortage of WWII themed shooters released in 2007 but for the upcoming game Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, developers Spark Unlimited and publisher Codemasters have taken that formula and given it a alternate history twist that finds Nazi Germany occuping the US. FiringSquad got a chance to chat with the game's lead designer Robert Berger to find out more about their plans for Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty!
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!
This game actually sounds pretty cool. It's good that they are trying to put a new twist on WW2 games. I hope the setting of the game is more than just NY though, the strict city environment seems like it could get repetitive after a while.
yo i have totaly waited for a game like this for a while.
for so long i have yearned to kill a couple hundred (thousand) Jews.
You know cruise around my concentration camps,throwing it up,
spraying the tagged with a little mp40,maybe view a little gas chamber action or just let some k9's out of the bag for lunch.
kidding people,
but serously i want to get my Borat on. that would be sexy.
anyway i love the whole alternate reality, that this game presents.
the fact that its close to proximity makes me hard.
BRING ON THE HATE MAIL
I like the twist of Germany winning the European theater.
Id like to see a console game with a similar premise. I love WW2 but being the allies is getting old. Id like to play as Germany/Japan.
