Turning Point viral marketing campaign could net you a PS3

Who doesn't want to be friends with the man who almost killed Winston Churchill? Doing so could win you a PlayStation 3, courtesy of Codemasters. As part of their European marketing push for Turning Point: Fall of Liberty a facebook profile has been set up for Mario Contasino - the New York taxi driver who accidentally ran over Winston Churchill in 1931. In our reality Churchill survived to become one of Britain's greatest Prime Ministers, but in the world of Turning Point Churchill died on that day and World War II played out very differently as a result. So, add Mario Contasino as a friend on Facebook and you'll automagically be entered to win a PS3. It's as easy as that. Entrants must live in the UK and be sixteen or older. Turning Point is released in Europe this coming Friday.

Not sure if it's a typo, but "automagically" souunds even cooler. Keep it :). Too bad this deal is UK only, but there aren't many of those anyway. US FTW!

Of course I'm in Canada, but it's a step...

Turning Point by Codemasters has a metacritic score of 41 making it the 3rd worst piece of PS3 software currently available. How's about the truth rather than viral marketing!!!

I'd play Turning Point if someone gave me a free PS3. :)

Man, I would have so entered to win piece of crap game that came with a free PS3 if I lived in the UK. Maybe if I change my facebook settings to claim I moved to the UK...
