Most RPGs make you ask the ask the same question: what was that giant rat doing with a sack of gold coins? Fable II has gone the more realistic route: you'll have to work for your money. There are some mini-games that simulate trades like blacksmithing, but one of the options is to invest.
Presumably you'll be able to rent out homes just as you did in the original Fable, but in the sequel you can invest in shops. Luckily they're not going the truly realistic route: you won't have to stop by the shop to pick up your profits, nor will you have to break someone's thumbs if they can't pay. As you're off slaying Hobbes or robbing innocent merchants, the cash will roll in every five minutes of real world time.
If you find yourself unable to play for a while there's an odd side benefit: the cash will keep rolling in even when you're not venturing through the world of Albion. Even when your Xbox is turned off, you'll accumulate the same amount of profit every five minutes.

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.
That is cool !
This game has so much depth to it!
Perhaps Peter M has come good again,you cant keep a good developer down.
Shame about the rats not having any gold coins though -
Aslong as i can wander into someones house,pump them for information before searching through their cupboards,wardrobes and robbing them of health potions without them batting an eyelid then im good
I heard about this quite a while ago. Pretty cool feature. Fable II will be amazing, no doubt.
That is amazing indeed.Nice work Lionhead.Very good idea and I can see other RPG games trying the same thing
THAT IS AMAZING.. lionhead keep it up...
Games to the people!!!
