Sometimes I chuckle and grin at how excited I can get over videogames and what great feats of entertainment they tip toe around. Then there are the other times I find myself shamefully gritting my teeth thinking about just how sucky some of the over priced crap is gonna be.
In no way will I request for the crap train to slow down, every once in awhile there is a pretty rider and that makes the mountain of turds seem not so bad. One game that gots me nervous and full of joy is the one and only Fable2. I honestly enjoyed the first one a great deal, even with all the critical views that were lasered at the poor thing... the game was fun! Yea, there were tons of things that could have been done to make the game last longer than a weekend's worth of play, but I say that kind of stuff really depends on who's playing the game.
Say for instance a kid sits down with a new game and beats it within hours. Does that make it a bad game? Not at all... its just not worth it for some. But take that game and milk it for every ounce of entertainment it has to offer and you'll quickly discover that you have a pretty genuine thing that is a game within a game. Something GTA is well known for. Anyone can easily sit down and watch a movie one time and be done with if forever. Yet some how something like Star Wars still has viewers trippin on what little details sneak around in the backgrounds of scenes... what a treat I say!!
Fable2 not only has the potential to be what the first game desried to be, but they can really steal the show if they go that extra mile with more grit rather than starting loving families. I'm always saying comic book movies should be more rated R or children should not be the biggest draw in cash concepts... yet its big business and I can only imagine the numbers don't lie :roll: with that in mind think of the safe bet with Fable. Don't make a game that is gonna encourage childen to be better people... make a game where adults can live a fantasy life thru a controller. Might not sound like the best sales pitch, but I say to hell with all the cushy crap and give me more head decapitating arrow shooting action!! Violence... oh no... just give me more options in how I can remove NPC's heads. That is all.
GO CAVS!!
