Fable

In a fit of desperation, I thought I'd write a new blog entry.

Firstly, gaming news...

I played Fable for the last 3 nights. Now, I'm not a Molyneux fan, so I wasn't expecting too much. He has always overhyped his games. You see, I loved Populous, brilliant, revolutionary. But everything that came after it was just a rehash, even the late great Black and White. But I'm digressing. Then again, Molyneux is more of an executive rather than hands-on in Fables case.

Hence, I was pleasantly surprised at how good Fable was. Good? Wonderful. Now I resent renting it as I had to give it back. Now I have to do spreadsheets to figure out whether to continue 'leasing' it from Blockbuster or to consider my outlay so far as R&D and just buy the game.

Highlights:
Deliberately breaking wind in order to influence people.
The fighting is very good
The places are tremendous. As shirley said, kinda like the nunnery grounds on a sunny day
If the frame-rate was higher I'd say it was the best graphics I'd yet seen on the XBox.

Lowlights:
As Ady says, probably a little short. But nice to have in the collection in case you wanted to go for a walk down the nunnery and you lived on another Continent.


On other news; I've asked my bosses to send me on an accounting course. They said yes. I can't wait.
