Although we have seen worse looking games before, I can't recall one in the last 2 years that has compared to the awesome suck fest that is Turning Point. The opening to the game was semi cool, with explosions that do nothing to the environment, pre rendered environment interactions mean that this game plays exactly the same every time, leaving no room for replayability. However, as we all know, it is not just about the graphics, if the gameplay is there you can still have a solid title. Hmm. We'll see.
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!
is not a surprise.
Worst Game of the Year?
I love this quote from that review:
"CodeMasters, if you are listening, raise your damn standards. This truly unique concept was completely murdered by a complete lack of detail. Boo"
I'm glad I didn't try this game now.
all these FPS's and shooters I was looking forward to for the PS3 and almost none of them end up getting 8.0's or higher from ANY reviews (which I still take with grains of salt): Turok, Conflict, Lost Planet, now Turning Point.....man, I hope Army of Two, Mercenaries, Brothers in Arms, Battlefield, Haze, KZ2, and Resistence 2 can excel...
Except CoD4 all of them was crap, it looks like the only good FPS are the exclusives.
