Gamble your gold in Fable 2 Pub Games

Tyranitar24 | August 09, 2008 | News | XBOX 360 Gaming Tech/Hardware

In order to make money in Fable 2, you're going to have to do a variety of different jobs. After you get the money, you'll be able to gamble it, either making more or blowing it all away in Fable 2 Pub Games.

Fable 2 Pub Games will be a "tie-in" with the Xbox Live Arcade and will open August 13th, the same date Bionic Commando Rearmed comes out. It will cost 800 MS Points, which is $10. You can also get it from retailers if you pre-order Fable 2.

Rather than having you stuff wolves' or giant rats' crevices with gold coins, Fable II will require players to earn money the old-fashioned way--working odd jobs and then gambling the earnings. While career advancement will have to wait for Fable II's October 21 launch, Lionhead Studios has said that players will be able to begin generating, or blowing, their virtual fortunes in advance with Fable II Pub Games, an Xbox Live Arcade tie-in.

Today, Microsoft announced that Lionhead Studios' virtual casino will open for business alongside Capcom's Bionic Commando Rearmed on August 13. Fable II Pub Games will be available for 800 Microsoft points ($10). Alternatively, participating retailers are offering a copy of the XBLA tie-in on the house as a Fable II preorder incentive.

The original Fable had parlour games built in- now they are just milking an extra $10 out of gamers.

  WHy the hell would they bother releasing it seperately? It should be included in the game to begin with.
