"Fable came under a lot of scrutiny from gamers and the gaming press, and maybe received more than it actually deserved. The reason for this was the game's designer and mogul of all things gaming, Peter Molyneux mentioned several features, pre-release that transpired, weren't included in the final product."
"Fable 2 is on the horizon, and of course Lionhead/Peter have drip fed us game details."

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
I didn't look at the first Fable as "lets see what wasn't included". I played the game without any biases and I really enjoyed it. With Fable 2, I'm not reading lists of "features" until the game ships.
and although i liked the game mechanics it left mee with a bla feeling when i ended it. As for features i was satisfied the story to me was kind of meh lets hope thye improve it.
Itll be great thats for sure. But I still think the Fable Peter dreamed of isnt possible yet. Maybe next-gen or the one after.
Hes got to much ambition and gets the better of him most of
the time.
I just hope its close.
i really enjoyed the first fable, so i have high hopes for Fable 2
Peter Molyneux is a very passionate and dedicated developer. And he's an even better presenter.
He really tries to make something unique and really puts thought into what he wants to achieve with his games. Unfortunately, this doesn't always work out quite as hoped.
I hope he can really pull it off this time. Not too say that Fable 1 was bad though, far from it actually. I for one loved it!
