"The grand adventure that is Fable has never really turned out to be that grand at all. Three games into the series and I’m still waiting for the RPG experience of a lifetime Peter Molyneux keeps promising me. Maybe he should stop posing for Turtleneck Monthly every chance he gets and check in on the development of his series."
It’s always fun to check out what those crazy fans on the Internet decide to make next. Here, we see screen shots of a retro-inspired, 8-bit “de-make” of the popular game, Fable. Maybe if there’s enough buzz, we’ll see a full playable version.
With all the trending topics of hate Fable 3 has been victimized of as of late, one can only imagine if Fable 3 is really as bad as the complaints it has received.
Whether the game was just plain terrible or it just couldn't live up to its expectations, here is the GT Countdown to the top 10 disappointing games of the decade.
Unless you want to know which actor played a certain role in a movie or game, people generally don't bother watching credits. Usually consisting of black background with white scrolling text, they're boring. So it's always nice when developers try to spice up the ending credits in an attempt to get you to watch them. Here are Gamesradar's Best And Worst Ending Credits In Games.

"Gaming has a lot of "dirty words", and one I'd like to highlight today is "exclusive", a term personally I haven't seen explored from an editorial standpoint. In this Special, I'll go into the ups and downs of exclusives, non-exclusives, why anyone cares, and why developers go one way or another.
Even the most latent of gamers is probably aware of what "exclusive" refers to, but just in case, here's an explanation: due to a variety of reasons, a developer and publisher decide together thei..."
"Game PR gurus often promise things that aren't always delivered in their final games. Often caught in the pre-release storm of hyperbole, hateful buzzwords and excitable press releases, the marketing men commit their games to features or mechanics the developers just can't live up to. In a world of 22 hour days, sleep deprivation and divorce-baiting deadlines, shit happens. That seemed to be the case with the following failed preview pledges. They all got talked up (sometimes outrageously), b..."
"Games industry veteran Paul Conry - who is 100% Denki - has joined the company as head of Denkis new test team. Paul will oversee test and quality assurance for all of Denkis current and forthcoming projects. Paul has worked with games companies including Mucky Foot, Lionhead, Broadsword Interactive and Realtime Worlds, for the last three years. His credits include titles such as Fable, Impossible Mission, Blade 2, Super Fruit Fall and APB."
""Goodnight all. Must go to bed. Got asked to do voice in Fable 3 tonight. Subarashi. Oyasuminasia. Woss out."
Later asked to confirm by another Tweeter, Ross said, "Yes they are doing it. Charlie Brooker said he would do a voice for it to! Great fun!!"
Unfortunately for Ross, the industry generally isn't too pleased when an actor announces a product early. Thus it was this morning that we received, "Good morning. Today I must file DVDs, write a piece for The Times, apologize to Peter Mo..."
"I fended off last year's hype machines like a fish resisting a hook, but by fall I was caught and reeled in by the likes of Spore, LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War 2 and Fallout 3. They were all innovative, and unique and groundbreaking, but none met my unreachable expectations.
Was it always like this? Has every big release launched like an easy home run, only to strike the foul post? My childhood memories say, "No," but my retrospective of the Most Hyped Games Ever says, "Yes."
That's ..."
Sam Van Tilburgh, the senior community manager for the Lionhead official forums, has been there ever since the release of Fable and is about to experience rabid fans' opinions about Fable II.
You might think his job is easy, but when everyone starts getting their grubby hands on the game and start complaining on the boards, things can get out of hands, partly because of the vocal Fable fans.
The highly anticipated RPG-game titled Fable II has finally been confirmed by Microsoft with a fall release date of October 21st in North America with the UK getting it three days later on the 24th.
If you don't already know the plot of Fable II from playing Fable, you're a young man traveling in a fantasy world and you will be able to choose if you're going to turn out good or bad. You will also be able to choose to play as boy or a girl, as well as having a loyal pet with you.
Creator Peter Molyneux says a demo for Fable 2 is quite unlikely, partly due to the nature of the game. But on the plus side, a bunch of screenshots and a trailer have been released.
The award-winning Fable arrived exclusively on the Xbox back in 2004 to much acclaim and not a little head shaking from gamers who felt cheated by the lack of some of the game's much publicised features.
Creator Lionhead Studios is looking to address those disappointments with the upcoming Fable 2 on the Xbox 360.
"Are you the kind of gamer who leaves titles half-finished? If so, you officially irritate Lionhead chief Peter Molyneux, who says he "hates" how only a small percentage of people complete games.
With this pet peeve in mind, Molyneux today unveiled a dastardly plot to make sure that everybody who buys Lionheads Fable 2 on the Xbox 360 goes on to finish it."
