  1. Fable 2 (Xbox 360)

    So overall it is an excellent title and certainly one of the best games of the year on the Xbox 360. Whether it will turn out as the overall title of the year on that console is a short way off with Gears of War 2 coming round the corner in a few weeks time, but for any fan of excellent story, great voice work, excellent graphics and far more to do than just shoot things over and over – get Fable 2 – you won’t regret it – it is without doubt...

    35 Comments This is a rarity. The original Fable for ye olde Xbox was a unique RPG with a selection of grating flaws, combat that ranged from great to annoying, some brilliant ideas, some bad ideas, and the whole package proved something of a letdown when it didn't deliver on all the many promises of lead developer Peter Molyneux.

    It won't set your world alight, but it might fart on it, teach it to urinate on town guards and then go to the barbers for a mullet. Read more

    This Fable is light on morals and rich with adventure. Enter the magical world of Albion in this video review for Fable II. On the day that Fable II arrived in stores, Microsoft released a free update that added online co-op play to the game. It's worth noting, however, that only the player who is hosting the game gets to use their character from the single-player adventure. Read more

    DLC. The remote island of Knothole is dying: its golden sands and lush vegetation are covered with snow, its people freezing, its treasures buried. Only a hero can face the trials of the three shrines to bring back the sunshine. Read more

    Fable 2 a great RPG game that takes fantasy games into a whole new world. This game is composed on many believes especially Greek Mythology. This game is one of the most addicting games anyone can ever play, once you start to play you cannot stop until you either pass a quest or your mom starts yelling. The only thing i would change about this game is that the graphics need a little more improvement it need to be realistic, the dog is one of the best things in the game... Read more

    This is a really fun game to play, once you get past the part of The castle where your sibling dies-didn't mean to spoil anything, but it's part of the beginning storyline. Didn't really build up in-depth of characters depth much, mostly missions/tasks to do in the game instead of learning stuff of the main/not so main characters. I don't like how you need re-known points just to get to the next mission. I wish I could just beat up a bunch of bad guys or maybe the... Read more

    Fun: This review is from: Fable II (Xbox 360) (Video Game) Firstly what you must know about the Fable series is that they are all hyped up. Fable II promised that we could spend money in camps which would then make the camp more rich which would in turn build it up. Eventually the camp would turn into a village and should we help it by either spending money there or donating money to build it up it could turn into a town and one day even a city. However should you kill... Read more
