This week sees the release of a major AAA Xbox 360 title, Fable III. The Lionhead poster game has been the focus of some positive previews, comes from a well respected studio and is probably the Xbox 360′s big exclusive for the remainder of the year. Hopes are high, but you’ll have noticed there’s no reviews for the game yet – and that’s because reviews of the Microsoft published title are embargoed until 5am BST Tuesday, the day of release. *

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.
Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.
Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.
Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.
You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.
The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.
But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.
I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh
Major publishers do this for major releases (Call of Duty, Red Dead Redemption, GTA...).
I'm expecting the game to score from 7 to 9
I hate when they do this with SP games. I can see holding out reviews for Multiplayer games, since the online in most cases have not been tested.
We all know that most have already finished Fable, reviews are written and just waiting to hit the send button.
I really need a review on this game, before I buy it which I do have reserved
Eurogamer just broke the embargo and gave it a 8
A good read. People that break embargoes are dicks.
