Turning Point: Fall of Liberty does have a great set-up, and that's about it. The game tells its story horribly, your character is both improbable and without any personality, the AI is terrible, the gameplay lackluster, and graphics middling. Even as a budget title, which Turning Point is certainly doomed to become, the game is hardly worth the bother. Well, unless you like "high concept titles" of course.

Pros
• Interesting what-if set-up
• Variety of different weapons
• Neat sniper rifle
• Grappling and climbing abilities
Cons
• Everything else
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!
