(
X360
)
After years in production, Peter Molyneux's piece, Fable II, is finally upon us on the Xbox 360. Following a similar mold from its 2004 predecessor, Fable II introduces new features and improves upon what the former game built, but in the end, it feels overly artificial and irrelevant. Five hundred ...

One giant fart joke
(

Disappointment compared to the original

NOTE: I enjoyed the original Fable. While I didn't like the fact that in the original, each map felt small and the game world wasn't that open, I thought that the combat system was solid and that there were an adequate amount of sidequests in the game. I have played ...
