The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This thread has been linked to the game 'Fable'.
Not quite sure why mine is more Official than any other, but there you go.
I reall like the look of this game. I really want to like the actual game, but I'm worried.
I really wanted to like Morrowind, but I didn't have 50+ hours to put into it before I could just about manage to kill a rat. Is the same thing likely to happen here?
I'm much more of a "half an hour here and there" type gamer, rather than a "6 hours straight? That's nothing!" type.
Also, talk amongst yourselves about Fable, it's out 2 months before Halo 2 anyway...
EDIT:
As this thread gets longer it'll be more difficult to find the links I've put in, so I'll add them in here too:
[URL]http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=56279[/URL] for the Eurogamer.net preview - slightly more frank and shows some of the games possible faults...
[URL]http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox/852/Fable/p1[/URL] for the Team Xbox one.
[URL]http://xbox.ign.com/articles/539/539090p1.html[/URL] for the IGN one.
TeamXbox and Xbox IGN are apparently putting the first reviews up at 10am PST today (Friday 27th), which seems to be 6pm UK time.

Especially as americans speak our language they get the games first and they use, ENGLISH. Which came from ENGLAND which is where we are. Very annoying, again another one of my digs at the yanks, even though i want to live there for the beta gamers.

It'll also be down to the different language thing as well. Stupi cuntries with all their stupid languages, why does the UK have to get lumbered with all tards?
Oh and yes I meant to write cuntries.

Well surely they could do it by languages? Or would the time delay have something to do with Pal and NTSC(?).

Well that wasn't exactly clear was it.
