"Turning Point: Fall of Liberty" is first-person shooter, developed by Spark Unlimited for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC involving an alternate reality in which Winston Churchill dies in 1936, three years before the start of World War II.
Without Churchill's strong leadership, Britain falls to Nazi and Axis forces and is used as a buffer to successfully capture Washington, D.C. in the United States. Not much more is known about this game at this time. Release is set for Winter 2007.
Plot
In 1931, Winston Churchill was hit by a cab in New York City. In the real world past, he survived and went on to rally the British people to fight against the Nazi threat; however, in this alternate timeline, Winston Churchill died soon afterwards, allowing the Third Reich to invade the British Isles, and, presumably, along with her allies, the rest of Europe, Iceland and Greenland. After that victory, the Axis go on to attack the American Eastern Seaboard by 1950, and the opening scene in the game places you right in the heat of a surprise attack on New York.
The crucial point here is that you don't play as a soldier. You're not connected to the military at all. You're just a normal, average citizen and instead of trying to win the war single-handedly, like in some other war-based FPS games, your main objective is simply to survive the doctrine of total war.
