Pros

Strong and varied artistic design.
Immersive world.
Lots to see and do.
Challenging decisions.
Road to Rule system makes for a refreshingly unique take on levelling up.
The Sanctuary essentially a menu given physical form in the game world makes a player’s inventory more tangible.
Playing as a monarch in the final act is original.

Cons

Lack of interesting moral choices.
No emotional connection to any characters.
Frustrating story.
Some clipping.
Keyboard controls are awkward.
Lack of menus may be jarring for veteran RPG players.
Repetitive interactions with non-player characters are all but necessary in order to grow your hero.

Fable 3 is a symbol of everything wrong with the game industry. It is visually stunning and high budget, but the gameplay is just bad. The game has a broken battle system in which melee weapons are very weak when compared to magic or guns, while in...

Understone Quest Pack (400MSP) The first and cheapest pack is also, not surprisingly, the shortest. The premise is simple: a factory owner in Bowerstone Industrial is hearing voices in his factory, and he enlists you, the King (or Queen), to...

Some don't know it, but Lionhead Studios started out on the PC back in 2001 one with god game Black & White before moving on to the now established Fable franchise. Fable was a hit on the Xbox, and its later released PC version -- known as Fable:...

Despite key improvements in several areas, Fable III isn't quite the masterpiece that Lionhead keeps promising. The game's unconventional structure, while ambitious, ultimately compromises the player experience....

Fable III is a decent enough game. Games for Windows, however, is a piece of crap. Now let me stop you before you say something like, 'it really isn't that bad, is it?' because it is that bad. In fact, as good as Fable III for PC is (I liked...

In Fable III you can be king. You quest through a fantasy countryside gathering support to overthrow a vile ruler, take the crown, then strike a balance between fulfilling promises made to supporters and the overall safety of Albion. It's a pretty...
