I saw this title on the Magic Box the other day and thought it sounded pretty damn cool. I don't own an XBox, but if I had one, I'd definately consider checking this game out. ;) Here's what it's all about:

Features

• Forge a Hero Based on Your Actions: Age and evolve a hero or villain through the actions you choose and the path you follow ¡V be it for good, evil or in-between. Ply the way of the sword and see your muscles bulge. Weave the dark arts and witness power crackle at your fingertips. Skulk in the shadows and watch your skin bleach.
  
• Engage in Intense Real Time Combat: Collect battle scars as you duel with a world of cunning foes and deadly creatures. Master an array of deadly weaponry as you hone the art of blade-craft. Hunt your quarry using subterfuge and stealth. Weave death from the elements as you harness the dark arts of the arcane.

Yep, this game is definetly going to be the real deal when it comes out. I hope it isn't sent into a horrible spiral of delays, though....it's quite an ambitious project.

This is probably the only reason I would get an Xbox. It is good to see that is an action game, although most action games are about as deep as a kiddie pool when it comes to the fighting depth.

If those don't make you sprung, you need some medication.

... um.. what? where did that come from?

Awww... nevermind, just look at the new screenshots and be prepared for the coolest things ever.
That is, of course, if this game ever actually sees completion. Maybe it will? Maybe??

I read new info about Fable in a game magazine, the game sounds pretty good, assuming your a rolepaying freak(traditional P&P roleplayer that is). Still no word on the combat, so I am guessing it will be simplistic.

This game looks awesome, definitely one I'll be getting.
The last time I heard, the release date was sometime around March 1st of 2004. I just hope it doesn't get pushed back too much.
