    This was the stuff that (wet)dreams are made of

    One thing before you rip me a new asshole (edit if you'd like) I am not an experienced gamer. Hell! I don't even know if I am actually a valid judge of awesome-ness  but, I will review it for those like me that will not play something that makes me want to blow my brains out from boredom or just the horrid story-line (you know who you are.)
    Here goes.




    - great looking people (although, I think it makes it look like an old stereotype. I.E EVERYONE LOOKS THE BLOODY SAME)

    - generally smooth motions.... but this also comes at a price. namely, something I like to call horrid B kung-fu movie-esque talking... (does this make sense)

It tries (and succeeds) in creating a world which is reminiscent of classic European fairy tales, which is an interesting and diverse land to explore, different towns and...

      Despite its flaws, a Ticket to Albion is worth the asking price. 0

      Fable II is an extremely ambitious game. Its scope is rather enormous, and with a quick glance, Fable II looks like a grand palace of a video game. However, when you get a little closer, as with any grand construction, the cracks begin to show. The Game begins with you choosing to be either a Male or Female orphan and you are thrown straight into a brief exposition/tutorial sequence. In this, as in the Childhood sequence from the original Fable, you need to do odd jobs to get some gold. The sta...
