"During my interview yesterday Lionhead Studio's Sam Van Tilburgh was pretty mum about the gold-churning glitch that was discovered in Fable 2's pre-release mini Pub Games.
He said that the patch for the game should be going live very soon, but when I asked him if the studio or Microsoft would be doing anything to those who raked in so much virtual cash he hit me with a no comment, followed by a 'their could be repercussions.'"

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.
Fable II is another game that will further define the Xbox 360's identity as one of the most underwhelming, mediocre consoles ever to be released. Only PLAYSTATION®3 has the internal capabilities to deliver the true structure and quality of where good games need to be. Which is in your living room and not at the repair shop.

I racked up about 500,000 gold using this simple glitch. If they have people in the game react to you like a thief/cheater or made your player start to deform evily, that would actually be pretty cool. But if I get banned or the lemon gamerpic because they didn't test their game good enough, I'll beat somebodies a**.
Fable II is already looking to be one of the most disappointing titles this year in 2008. Peter Molyneaux developed a garbage title in the first Fable which was released to less than stellar sales and reviews. But when a developer is making a game exclusively for Xbox 360, it's expected to be a game of low quality.
Seeing that Fable II is in dire need of patches even before the game is released is a telling sign that Microsoft Game Studios puts their developers to have their game complete within a certain deadline date. Thus hindering the time, development and tools needed to deliver a game with certain quality.
Games such as Halo 3, Gears of War 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human are all prime examples of games that were rushed to the market to meet consumer demand. Because of this, the quality of the games suffered heavily. Even the Xbox 360 console itself is a rushed pile of garbage that should not have even been released to the market. Fable 2 will suffer the same fate as the aforementioned titles
Dark Sniper can assure you that Microsoft has officially lost 2008. This will be the second consecutive year that Microsoft has fallen into 3rd place in overall sales on a worldwide basis.
Will Microslaves ever accept the fact that their console is the third place platform? Dark Sniper says they have no other choice.

Since when??....you droids proclaimed sony was going to jump that 6 million mark it was behind from all the way back in march...as we speak
31 million wii
20 million xbox
15 million ps3
must be droid math.
This little mini-game is a cool concept, but the execution was ultimately a failure. Fable will be great, tough. Can't wait for it.
