"As it stands, I've been looking forward to the title for months now and after playing through this brief snippet of gameplay I'm considering going to the store and pulling my preorder simply on the merits of this lackluster demo."

The potential for a wild ride was there, given the alternate-reality storyline at the heart of Codemasters’ Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. It takes a real-life event—an incident where Winston Churchill is hit and injured by a cab in New York City—and turns it into the premise for a big “if one event in the past is different, does it also change the course of history?” scenario.

Turning Point: Fall of liberty is a shining example of a great idea poorly executed. There is fun to be had with the game, but it's not the grand adventure it claims to be. Shooting Nazis in the streets of three major U.S. cities should be a non-stop thrill ride that has me on the edge of my seat. This game provides the opposite experience. If you're a die-hard WWII buff (or zeppelin fetishist), give this one a rent. Otherwise, skip it and read a Harry Turtledove novel instead.

If there's one genre that's oversaturated at the moment it's the first-person shooter. And if you want to get even more precise, it's the WWII themed first-person shooter. Despite this, Codemasters and Spark Unlimited are hard at work on Turning Point, a WWII shooter with a difference. We caught up with Senior Producer Dave Brickley to get the latest on the game.

You see, our current history is what it is because events played out as we learned them in Social Studies classes. But Codemasters and developer Spark Unlimited have created a scenario in which our history takes a detour in 1931, and the different outcome for this particular event—where Winston Churchill is struck by New York cab in 1931 and then dies instead of going on to lead England in its challenge of Adolf Hitler—alters the course of history that we’ve been following.
