Turning Point: The Fall of Liberty Special Edition NTSC Xbox 360 Photos

The name of this edition of Turning Point: The Fall of Liberty is unclear. In online listings before release it was listed as “Collector’s Edition” However the case itself has no moniker beyond the regular game name. The wrapping around the case did feature a sticker referring to it as a “Special Edition” But the bonus disc and the art book both carried the term “Limited Edition”. Special Edition is probably the most accurate label considering Codemaster’s last release of this type, Clive Barker’s Jericho, carried the “Special Edition” Label, also that is the term used on the outside of the actual case.

Despite the confusion with the name the case is distinctly different than that of the regular edition, while carrying nearly identical artwork the Special Edition comes in a 2 Disc Steel Book Case.

Inside the differences between the two versions further diverge with the inclusion of an alternate history timeline poster, a “Limited Edition” Concept art book, and a Limed Edition DVD which includes a behind the Scenes making of feature as well as the Game’s Soundtrack. In addition to the regular edition disc and manual.

Also included is a reminder that by registering your game you’ll receive a code that will allow you to use an infinite number of grenades in game.

You may recall that those who Pre-Ordered the game through Gamestop also received a Pre-Order pack.

It’s clear that a great deal of thought went into both the Pre-Order Pack and Special Edition, offering high quality items that enhance the experience as opposed to something that was thrown together to make some extra coin, this is further proven by the fact that the Pre-Order pack was free, and the Special Edition is only $5 more than the regular edition.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot and Turning Point Bonus Content

While I was at the store picking up my Devil May Cry 4 Collector’s Edition I pre-ordered several other new games including Condemned 2: Bloodshot and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty Collector’s Edition, among a few other titles. In any case it would appear that my Gamestop received their pre-order bonus content in early for both Condemned and Turning point as I was treated to some items for those games.

While Condemned 2: Bloodshot wont be coming in any special trim (shame really) Gamestop’s pre-order bonus is a “Limited Edition Multiplayer Handbook”. This handbook is limited in the same way fun-sized candy bars are actually fun. Regardless, the book features nice glossy print and some game art accompanying the “strategy”; it gives me something interesting to read about the game while I wait for it’s release. Far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth.

I was actually quite surprised with what I got for Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. A large sealed envelope with the games name on it. I liked the idea of the envelope, like a top-secret document of sorts. Though it’s presentation was rather cheesy, the contents of the envelope impressed me immensely. Inside was a “welcome to the resistance” letter, a letter sized lithography with some game art on it, five high quality post cards with some really nice game art, a large fold out two sided poster with an alternative history timeline explaining the games back story on one side and some more game art on the other, a bonus DVD with a behind the scenes/making of documentary, and a card with a code on it that will presumably unlock some bonus game content. I was really quite impressed considering that all of this was essentially free just for agreeing to purchase the game. The game is a Collector’s Edition too, and one that will only cost and extra $5 over the retail price of the regular edition. The game seems interesting enough but I’m curious if the bonus content with the game will match that of the pre-order pack.

I think the pre-order pack for Turning Point does a lot to really bring you into the game’s world. If this is a game you’re thinking about buying you owe it to yourself to pre-order it and get one of these packages, it’s well worth it.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty to get Collector’s Edition

While it’s unclear when or if an official announcement was made, what is clear is that most major game retailers are now listing a Collector’s Edition for Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, Codemaster’s alternative history WWII era Shooter. While the Game is scheduled for release on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC it would seem that the Xbox 360 version is the only one that will be getting the CE Treatment.

Scheduled for release on February 26th this CE seems to be retailing for $65, which is surprising since that’s $5 less than one you’d normally expect to see a CE list for. Unconfirmed but supposedly included with the package is a “steel book” case (similar to Jericho, Perfect Dark Zero, and others), a Making of Game DVD, Sound track as well as an Alternate History Timeline poster and a Concept Art Book.

While Turning Point certainly isn’t the franchise on every gamer’s mind this February for an extra $5 the CE looks well worth a purchase if you were planning on picking this up anyway.
