...something TRULY innovative from Molyneux. For all his talk, Peter M. usually disappoints in the end. This is definitely a first for gaming, as well as a brilliant new way to market/sell casual games.

I Call 9MM5873d ago

Now that is pretty damn innovative stuff he's talking about there. Wow, let's just forget the whole gambling thing for a second there. I mean, sure yeah I definately think it is cool, but let's get to the other stuff. Jump in co-op, now that will be a neat feature. But what if, in my game i've bought house's "X, Y and Z". Now, my buddy, in his game, bough houses X, Y, Z as well. Who owns the houses when you play co-op. IDK, maybe I'm thinking too much but it still sounds pretty cool. The dog is a neat touch too.

Now, the gambling system. Pretty cool, but 3 games? How much will that cost for those who really want to get into it. 3 x 800 MS (you kid yourself if you think it will be less) = 2400 MS points. that's a lot of real world dough to be spending.

THWIP5873d ago

Basically, when someone joins your game, they are in "your world", and only there to help with combat. Any loot gets split between you...I think you decide how it gets divided. You can't do anything story or commerce related, if you join someone else's game. Hope that clears things up for you. :)

HaKeRsCanRotINHEL5873d ago

included in/ with the retail version of Fable 2 or only exclusive to XBL?

Boldy5873d ago

No, but there will be other ways of getting money in the actual game itself.

green5873d ago

they will be XBLA games.Want to be the emperor, then get ready to spend some real world money.

Anyway,its obvious he was held back by the limitations of the previous gen.but with the power of this gen he is capable of implementing alot of his ideas.Fable 2 will be an epic game.

mintaro5873d ago

Fable 2 is starting to look really really a-peeling =D

InYourMom5873d ago

This looks to be fantastic just as long as he is able to get everything he talks about into the actual game this time around. Fable 2 could end up being on some GOTY list's!

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog136d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned136d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c136d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb136d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies136d ago (Edited 136d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal136d ago (Edited 136d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72135d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman136d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows135d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

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.

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson300d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper299d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam299d ago

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.

cthulhucultist299d ago

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.

Demetrius299d ago

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

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.

thorstein875d ago

...and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4....

I am biased.

Hofstaderman875d ago (Edited 875d ago )

OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2

Jiub875d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad875d ago

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.

Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.

Jiub875d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein875d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq1875d ago

You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.

Exvalos875d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor874d ago

I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.

In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.

MadLad875d ago (Edited 875d ago )

Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.

As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.

LoveSpuds875d ago (Edited 875d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

I'd add some Baldurs Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights from back in the day too.

MadLad874d ago

Should have added BG2. Played through it many times over the years.

Never could get into Neverwinter Nights though. Not sure why.

Omegasyde874d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade875d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
