Since last update, I've finished Fable III, finished Night at the Museum 2, started Star Craft 2 on the Mac. 
 
Fable 3.  I really enjoyed it up until....  It's not the decision to make the protagonist prepare for an epic battle, that's a perfectly reasonably conceit.  The decisions made throughout the game, whether to support the people who supported the protagonist throughout the revolution; these are the decisions that should colour the end game, not how much money I've managed to save up in my own personal treasury so I can bail out the nation.  I spent 10 hours grinding up my property empire to reach £7M in value.  This allowed me to make all the "good" decisions, and still save all the civilians.  It's like Lord Peter of Molineux just ran out of time, so just asked the tea boy what the easiest way of finishing the game up is, and went with it.  It's just so lazy.  I spared my Brother.  He then told me I could have his troops to help me, but this was in no way reflected in the end game.  I paid the guard more money - they didn't fight any harder.  There was no ethical choice in it, I just spent more time saving up money, and made whatever decision I fancied.  Just nonsense. 
 
What I really don't get is why all the bonuses in the  game are MAKE UP, or TATOOS, or PANTALOONS.  I wouldn't mind if the shoes gave extra powers, or extra speed, or +5 to spellcasting, or whatever.  The only difference is what the avatar looks like.  What do I care?  Really!  
 
The Understone DLC was pretty good though.  Over priced, but quite good.    
 
Star Craft 2, however, is simply amazing.  I'm garbage at it.  I'm trying to sort it out on Normal difficulty, but I'm just village.  I will stick with it. 
 
Night at the Museum 2 is a straightforward 1000 GS, and enjoyable enough to go through the kids with.
