My friend is selling both Fable 2 and HaloWars for 20 dollars each and I was wondering which was the better deal/game, because I only have money for one of them. Any help/comments will be appreciated. Thank you.

That's tough. I was never a fan of RTS games until I played Halo Wars. But, Fable 2 is in my top five 360 games. If you are looking for multiplayer Halo Wars, if you are looking for an excellent single player RPG then Fable 2.

I would say Halo Wars if you enjoy RTS. Also, it has enjoyable online play.

I found Fable 2 to be slightly overrated.

If you got $40, get both, if only $20, then I'd say halo wars.

Recommending Halo Wars is tricky. Many RTS fans(not all, though, no need to raise your hand and tell me you're an exception :) ) found Halo Wars to be a little too bare-bones and simplistic. And its hard to recommend an RTS game to a non-RTS fan because you never know whether they'll like it or not.

Fable 2 is probably the safer bet.

Hey guys I was just wondering. Since I love games like oblivion I was thinking of getting myself Fable 2 but was not sure though if it is worth it? There are games coming out I wanna get such as prototype, but since I loved oblivion and played it 7hrs+ a day, should I get fable2? Let me know if it is really that worth it. Thanks.

You dont own this forum topic.... Its a related question, so I think its much better etiquette to post it in a related thread rather than start a whole new one.

Hard to tell on the internet, man. There's plenty of tightwads out there who wouldn't think twice about saying what you said in all seriousness, ya know? Probably want to use some sort of winking smiley or something so people know you're joking!

A better choice would be "neither- wait for a good game to price-drop to 20$ second-hand." Halo Wars is an RTS on a console, and Fable 2 is Fable (here's a mini-review for if you've never played the original Fable: It's terrible.)

i would say go for fable b/c its got a great story and good controls. Halo Wars, as w/ most RTSs on the 360 have really bad controls. It all comes down though to do you want a shallow RPG, or a shallow RTS?

Although I'd recommend passing both of them, I'd have to choose Fable II over Halo Wars. Halo Wars is one of the only games that I honestly just cannot play. I love playing Halo 3, but Halo Wars just bores the hell out of me.

Get Halo Wars. If you are looking for an RPG that's actually good then get Fallout 3 otherwise don't get Fable2. Very mediocre game that was extremely overhyped. Halo Wars all the way.

Can you find Fallout 3 for only $20, though?

Fable II. Starcraft 2 will blow Halo Wars out of the water so unless you need a fix for RTS just wait on it Starcraft II (coming 2013).
