As far as people’s issues with weak weaponry, nothing’s all that changed here. Turning Point is all about being an outnumbered vigilante. Protagonist, Dan Carson is a construction worker, not a soldier. As such, the odds are against you, and you’ve got to make do with what you’ve got. And for all the complaints, people should take into account that the demo is first very beginning of the game. Sure, you start by fending off the aggressors with any scrap at your disposal, but you’ll also be taking out proto-Panzer tanks with rocket launchers in no time.

Besides, part of the fun of Turning Point is taking enemy soldiers unawares. With the push of a button, you can run up to a Nazi and throw a little grapple in their eye. Choke them out, break their neck, take their weapons, or simply use them as a human bullet shield. As people seem to be enjoying withTurok, a replenishing health system makes it worth taking a little head-on fire if it means you can violently take out an adversary without firing a round.

As far as creating a motif, BioShock left a tough act to follow. Eventually your last-ditch defense will take you to Washington DC, and even as far as London. But the New York areas are all we’ve previewed thus far, and while you’re in the air, it’s a site to behold. Fighting off hordes of Swasti-scum underneath the unmistakable remains of the Chrysler building made for one of the cooler skirmishes we dove headlong into.
