Finally got around to putting a little bit of time into Fable this afternoon (I snuck home from work a little bit early to do so ...) and I must admit, I had some fun. The game has some flaws, but they've been overdone as a means of punishing PM for exagerating things like a jackass. Keep. Your. Foot. Out. OF. YOUR. MOUTH. OK, lesson learned. Move on ...

After dinner, my six year old son Evan was all over me to let him try Sly 2: Band of Thieves. We went downstairs into the entertainment suite, turned down the lights, turned on the 5.1 and the HDTV - held down the triangle and the X at the same time to launch the progressive scan mode and ... wow!! What a gorgeous and utterly stunning piece of work Sly 2 is. At the same time, it is a frustrating and aggravating experience to let your six your old play when your just dying to pick up the controller to show him how it's done. I think I'll sneak back downstairs after I put the kids to sleep and play ... Sly 2.

Yup, given the choice, I'd rather play Sly 2 than Fable. I'm not putting down Fable, but Sly 2 is a work of art that deserves some attention. And will you look at that ... Sucker Punch never once had to call the game the BEST <fill in the blank> OF ALL TIME to get me to spend some money on it.

Cheers!!
