Description:
What if Winston Churchill had died on December 13, 1931 after he was struck by a cab while crossing 5th Ave. in New York, and wasn’t alive to rally the Allied forces to confront the Nazis? Turning Point: Fall of Liberty uses this ‘what if’ idea to create a fast-paced Action/FPS game set in an alternate history where Winston Churchill is killed in 1931, England surrenders to Hitler in 1940, Pearl Harbor is never attacked by the Japanese, and America is not drawn into the war until the German Wehrmacht (war machine) lands on the U.S. east coast in 1953.

Looks like a nice package. I really enjoy alternate history stuff, especially mid 2oth century propoganda like this. The game looks great too!

I've always enjoyed Alternate history fiction, and I really enjoyed the demo for Turning Point. I realize that critics are already panning the game, but I'd love to see how the rest of it turns out, because what little I played seemed very fun and immersive.

I am a big history buff and have always wondered "what if things happened differently?" I am a huge fps fan, so this game sounds perfect for me. I can't wait to play it!

I have long wondered what might have happened had Britain fallen before the US became actively involved in WWII. I would love to win this and see if I can kick the Nazis back across the Atlantic!

I would like to apply because I know the guy sending the prizes! Just kidding ;)

But seriously, wonderful prizes. I'll find a big law book and see if there is any law prohibiting me from applying. If there is jail time involved, I'll pass.

I'd like to win because I've followed Turning Point since it was first announced due to other issues (namely buying a new guitar and a new TV for Hi Def gaming) I won't be able to buy it.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty's high concept has always had me interested. I followed all the defeloper interviews as my interest for game was increased each video I watched. I've been really into history all through out highschool, and even now as a college student, with the history channel being on the television when I had cable TV.

I'm a game designer, and as of right now me and a friend are working on an FPS title to throw onto the XNA community club on a later date that you might see. I've always been a hardcore fan of FPS games, and as a game designer I like to play as many games as possible. As of late though I have not been able to purchase any video games because I have to pay for school, groceries, rent, and utilities. Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is one game that I would truly like to play to see the story.

"What would happen if the United States was invaded?" I'm sure this question has come across many peoples mind. I would like to see how the game developers put there ideas and concepts together on this question, play through the game, and experience their story that they made for us gamers.

Holy crap, this prize package is amazing! I love the alternate history theme and how it plays out; too bad for Winston though... he will be missed.

Nazi's , Zeppelins, Stormtroopers, Alternative Hstory .... What is there not to like. I can't wait to get my hands on it. This contest is an awesome idea, It has drawn me in to at least take a look at the game with closer scrutiny.

I'd absolutely love to win this package. Turning Point looks like a very neat game that delivers a unique and promising storyline to the normal WWII-style first-person shooters. It seems very engaging and immersive, which a lot of modern games lack. Not to mention, I love the concept of you playing as the normal construction worker who is fighting for your country and keeping freedom alive. It truly looks like an outstanding experience.

Also, that Blimp and Lady Liberty Figure look so neat. =D

Great Stuff! Cannot wait to play it! I would also love a alternate history RTS where South Americans can go on a discovery/plunder trip of midle age europe!

Hail to creative history!

I hope to win this competition because I never win anything. I feel as if the world is about to turn against me and I will face an uphill struggle, almost as if an evil force is plotting to take over the world and Im the only person who can stop them.
Without taking LIBERTYS, I know this isnt a GAME, I feel that I can really be a BLIMP in the Evil Forces Plans and armed with my trusty KNIFE I can really pin my BADGE on the POSTER of the world.

Signed: Kenneth Thomson and his MOUSE named MAT.

Please help me to win as I can feel this really is a TURNING POINT!

Well I hope that I would win this but with my luck that won't happen. Anyway being fan of WW2 since COD1 and Sudden Strike, I always wanted play as German in Singleplayer but mod's what could provide German Campaing died like COD2 mod German Front. Now this game however is not german campaing (again >:( ) but it show's as if German's would be triumph and that is what I wanted play in COD2.. Axis troops as victorious.

History is my favorite hobby. History tells you how to be wise in the future by using the knowledge of past. Alternate history is much more interesting. My friends and me usually thinking about the big question "What .. if..?".
I love this sfutt 'cause if I win (I hope) they would envy me all this things.

What if Hitler could paint? I would like to play with the variables and see. What if Hitler didn't believe in astrology and had invaed Poland earlier or better yet Russia. These are the questions that make turn Academics into Pavlov's dog. History is defined by what is. Sociology and Psychology are defined by what if.

What if I win the swag? What if this becomes game of the year? What if I stop now and let someone else comment?
