Codemasters has released new details about their upcoming title, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. For those of you who haven’t yet seen the first creative trailer, or the follow up featuring gameplay, Fall of Liberty is set in an alternate history where the Nazi’s invade New York city in 1953.
You play as Dan Carson, a New York construction worker. From your perch atop the shell of a newly built sky scraper, you watch as Axis forces rain from the sky seizing America’s Big Apple. You’ll enter the civilian resistance mastering urban warfare, guerilla tactics and hand-to-hand street fighting for the Rebellion against the Nazi oppressors in this FPS.
Turning Point:Fall of Liberty will be released for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in early 2008.

Nice concept, definitely a good twist to the traditional WW2 FPS…but, how about another set-up? WW2 has been done to death.
That’s the problem, as far as technologically-revolutionizing wars go, WWII takes the cake. You ‘could’ do WWI, but there isn’t enough… well, ’stuff’ that goes ‘kaboom’. I mean, blow up a small artillary or take down a dirigible?
Besides, having this sort of turning-point modernized urbn landscape mixed along with what you’d-normally-think old stuff, you have a pretty neat setup. I mean, think of it this way… if Call Of Duty hasn’t done it, then it hasn’t been done to death. Really.
Fair enough and I guess it does have a twist to it to slightly take it out of WW2, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’re still going to be shooting Nazi’s and you’re STILL gonna win.
