Now that the 'sequel' is here it doesn't feel like much has changed in the game this time around, for better or for worse. Starting up Fable II you immediately feel "Yeah, this is just how Fable is supposed to be". If you have played the first one you may get all tingly inside. After playing around for a while though you realize that some of the things from the first game just haven't changed enough; some things for the better, others for the worse.
In Fable II you start out as a young orphan that is trying to get out of the streets and have a better life for you and your sister (sound familiar?). You eventually become an adult and a 'hero', granting you the ability to use will (magic). As you progress through the main quest you gain access to other areas and cities and from there you get side quests and other objectives you can do in game such as gambling or working at a job. The jobs are for the most part just pressing the A button at the right time. They are boring but they get you money, money that you don't really need to get further into the game, but money to spend on things that distract you from the main quest such as a wife, house, owning properties, and of course achievements. The side quests are essential to making this game have any sort of longevity at all, as the main quest can be completed in a just a few short hours."

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.
According to Xbox Evolved Spiderman: Web of Shadows is up there with Fable 2 lol!
