Fable gone gold, who else is excited? I just preordered it on Amazon when I heard the news, and can't wait to play it.

Got anime?I do.

I´m not sure about Fable. It seems to have the main problem that Black and White had. I.E when you´re bad you´re ugly. And I´m not into that grow old thing. I mean growing up is fine but growing till the guy´s 60 years old!? Also alot of it sounds very gimicky. I´ll wait until I hear what people say. And then I might or might not get it.

IGN gave it a 9.3 out of 10.
TeamXbox gave it a 9.1.
They say Kotor is better because of it's storyline, but I think Fable will be good still.
Growing can take long if you don't use much magic, that's what really aes you, which is a downside.

That´s good. I won´t use magic and problem sorted.

I´ve given up listening to reviewers. Too many times they give a game a high score because of the hype. They never mention the bad points in a game. Look at windwaker for example. They never mentioned the fact that it was missing 3 dungeons and was so easy a dog could accidently complete it. I think they don´t take into account the fact that games cost 60€, which is an awful lot of money. I remember one day I calculated that mariguana gives more hours of entertainment per € then a videogame.
How did that turn into a rant. Oh well...

Unfortunatly I made a solem vow to never enter ign.com after what they said about Halo and Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. So I can´t look at thier review. Maybe I´ll break my vow...A posible loop hole would be reading the review copied and pasted in a text document so I won´t have to go to thier site...

Edit: Forget that. I´ve gone onto TeamXbox .com and I´m reading thier review now. An 8 page review now that´s my type of review.

They didn´t like Billy Hatcher. How can anyone not like such an imaginative game. It was mad, I like it.
They said that Halo would have been much better with a keyboard and mouse. That´s untrue. I´ve never seen a game with such a well adapted control system (Well prehaps windwaker). I think the control system is the game´s best feature.No other FPS has come close(that I´ve played anyway).

Well, to be quite honest, Fable looks like total crap to me. The gameplay videos of the gold master I've seen looked... horrible. The whole game has a comical overtone, from the accents to the graphics, which is sort of okay; but then the dialogue is blatantly 'good or evil' selections, the humor's weak, the characters are all steriotypes... it's really sad, because they could have made a fascinating, engrossing action RPG with the engine they had.

Sudeki is a great game no matter what the critics say, very short though, almost at the end, but want to get every weapon and stuff before I fight the last boss.

That means absolutely nothing . A lot of people believing something doesn't make it right or wrong. So it was sort of pointless to mention.

That said, I don't like it for taste reasons, not because I think it's very poorly made...

You can't kill children in the game, that's a restriction probably because people could think that Lionhead promote child abuse or something.

I looked at the Sudeki box and the only good magazine comment they could get out of it was this:

"Five out of five!"-Maxim

That could have had something to do with the fact that the character on the front had large breasts.
