Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June '09

This month, ATI's new Radeon HD 4770 is missing in action, since online stores are not only unable to keep it in stock, but also de-listing it completely. With violent movements in pricing, though, it'd have been taken off the recommended list anyway. Read more

Review by Rob Wright

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty presents an alternate history where the Nazis win WWII and invade America. But a lackluster design, weak visuals and uninspired gameplay cause Turning Point to misfire badly.

I doubt it, 1) apparently no one is playing it online, pirated or legit copy, and 2) the console sales aren't exactly lighting up the chart, either.

But yeah, if Spark or Codemasters blames Turning Point's failure on piracy, it will pretty much make my head explode like "Scanners."

Hey Rob, great review.

I couldn't agree more with the comment about rushing two titles out in a year. You just shouldn't do it. Every game dev. should learn this lesson from EA. Quality > Quantity. If your first game sucks, what makes us want to buy your next?

Anyways, hopefully we see more Blizzard and Valve type companies in the PC gaming future. :)

Haha, no one even wants to pirate it...nice. No piracy = success or slap in the face?

When I first watched the HD trailer for this last year I was really excited by the premise of the game...oh well, saved me $50.
