Turning Point: Fall of Liberty finally has a trailer up, and while it's just a cinematic, we love the whole alternate history angle. Sure, it's Nazis all over again, but this time they've hung a banner on the Statue of Liberty. What NYC cab driver could possibly stand for that?

It's unclear if you'll be playing this character throughout the game, and the subtitle of the game, "Fall of Liberty" hints at a possible franchise. At least it's not Generic WWII Game #487, and it's also from Spark, who knows how to do the war genre right. Here's hoping they can keep it fresh and fun ... so far fighting an invasion in 1940s New York sounds like a decent start.

What happens when sales outpace creativity and originality? No, not another 50 Cent game. The real answer is more first-person shooters with a World War II theme -- Fall of Liberty is the name of the lucky girl this time. Ugh, do we really need another WWII franchise for next-gen? Well, Codemaster and Sparks Unlimited seem to think so.

Not content with the bazillions of other historical FPSers out there, the two have joined forces to bring us Fall of Liberty for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Due in late 2007, this latest Nazi smasher is actually a flip on the formulaic script as the game is set in the 50s shortly after the Nazis have won -- see it's different, this time, they win. Not only were the nasty Germans victorious, but they're poised to forever rule the good ol' U.S. of A.

We have just one question to ask you Joystiqers: Are you as sick of WWII-themed shooters as we are?
