GameSpy writes: "We've already seen quite a bit of Fable 2, so what's left to talk about? As it turns out, Lionhead Studios' helmsman (at least creatively speaking) Peter Molyneux still has a trick or two up his sleeves, so during today's Microsoft-focused event he began expounding on the depth of Fable 2's story and huge, open-world environment. While Molyneux's description of the rich, evocative plot included one seriously huge spoiler, that portion of the demo will not be presented here (except to say that it was a humdinger, perfectly in line with the trajectory of Fable 2's apparent obsession with making us feel emotions).
In classical theater terms, Fable 2 would be considered a comedy, because the protagonist ascends from a lowly status to a grandiose one (a tragedy is the opposite). Of course, in order to do this, Molyneux has no trouble admitting that this means that you begin the game as the lowliest of all lowlies: a poor little kid... that gets pooped on by sparrows. Fortunately, you've got a sister to help guide you through the tricky process of growing up, but becoming an adult is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. In fact, choices that you make as a wee child will affect how you begin the game proper."
Spiffy:
-Delicate moral decisions
-Genuine emotional attachment
-Simple yet deep combat system
Iffy:
-Still seems a long, long way from being anywhere near finished
-Lots of concept, little demonstrable execution

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 just hope they hit the holiday '08 target.
Hope it lives up to it`s promise, and that they don`t rush it.
