At first, the game seemed cool, but then once you played on, it got repetitive. AND THE DEMO IS BROKEN FOR ME! On the first mission, after you kill the werewolves and men, I went to the gate where the guy goes like "You know there's a werewolf behind those gates... Huh, just don't let it eat me." or something like that. Then you have to open the gate, but the like key unlocker BREAKS apart and it drops around. Then I'm stuck. FAIL! It was weird.

If you want some ancient mythos action rise of the argonauts should do you good, just completed the bastard and it pretty much hit the spot...

Let alone cheap. I would have to be given money to play any more of that game. It was truly awful. I really couldn’t recommend anyone paying anything for Turning Point. Let alone cheap.

It was depressing - it should have been AWESOME, but it was just eh. Also: "This game was terrible. I had to delete my pirated installation within hours of play. These developers are quite trash to be harsh." Stupid developers. You should ask for every cent you paid to support them back! This is the game that’s out on 360, right?

It is uncomfortably, obviously linear and has plenty of crappy bits I could mention - but for me, the real killers were annoying jumping 'puzzles' (when your character struggles to jump more than six inches vertically) and some of the worst respawning ever. I gave up after spending 20 minutes trying to navigate a warehouse while killing werewolf after werewolf. They weren't hard to kill - It's just that, exactly 10 seconds after killing one, a fresh one would appear. One at a time. Forever. Which is just - lame. @jonfitt: There is plenty of room for b-movie games in the industry. And there are plenty of decent ones out there. But sadly, this isn't one of them.

Sure it's not going to rock the world, but they look nice, and have cool premises. So long as they aren't bugged to death and the business model isn't based on Gear of War type sales, all the best to them. I do think they should be priced lower though. I may pick up this and/or Turning Point when I see them sold for cheap on Steam. I’ve not played the demo yet, and didn’t play Turning Point, but I do have an opinion :) :

They were badly made, and unintentionally pointed out a lot of really bad design choices. Plus, they edited the video so that the different people talking are shot out of fireballs, which might sound cool but looks incredibly lame!
