While Zelda: Breath of the Wild may have (finally, thankfully) killed the idea that gameworlds have to be stuffed with boring, repetitive tasks for the player to complete, we have to assume the new Fable will be quite large, to say the least. Even if the landmass isn't enormous, some density to the environment, like the new Shadow of the Colossus , would be very welc As is common with Kinect, enjoyment of the title will largely be based on how accurate your set-up is. I played the game with a 42“ TV in moderate lighting conditions and adequate space around me. Some will experience the game in better conditions, but I prefer to review Kinect releases with what I feel is a realistic representation of most gamer’s arrangements. To calibrate, there’s a special tool that has you cast spells at stationary enemies. It seems easy enough, but after using the new settings, attacks were going all over the place. It took about four calibrations to get it as accurate as possible. Once calibration is correct, there is a learning curve to get spells accurately cast. To really nail it, your arm must be fully retracted before extending, with the palm facing up at all times. It sounds simple, but remembering to keep correct form during the heat of battle can be tricky.

Details on the game are just rumors at this point, but if Bungie is attached, we want to know about it. The company has already claimed that they won't be appearing at E3 , but major developers playing dumb in the lead-up to a major announcement is nothing new. Bungie has since teased a major July 7 announcement , and while it's possible they may be waiting until E3 has come and gone to make any formal announcement, we hope to at least get some idea of what Destiny will be at this year's ev

With a sprawling, graphically intense world part of a near fifteen-hour campaign, Fable: The Journey breaks any conceptions of what a Kinect title can be. It’s not demo material or a novelty release, but Adventurequestlog published an article uncompromising adventure game that weaves an engrossing story while utilizing the full potential of motion control. It doesn’t always work flawlessly, but the sheer ambition alone makes it a must-own for Fable and Kinect fans alike.

While the titular Blood Dragons that populated the environments of this Far Cry 3 expansion(?) were seriously lethal, they were no match for the robotic version players were allowed to pilot into the game's cli

So there you have it, some of my thoughts on what I'd like to see in the upcoming Fable title. It's been a game that was a strong part of my childhood on the original Xbox, so waiting in anticipation for more details has got me incredibly excited. Although somewhat impati

Besides combat and travel, there are plenty of other motion-based opportunities throughout Albion. Activities like corralling chickens, lighting lanterns and moving obstacles may seem mundane, but serve to enrich the experience, making sure there’s always a fresh task to keep players interested. Most of these secondary actions have their own unique movements to avoid redundancies. Not content to let your arms have all the fun, there will be times where multiple paths can be selected from by bending your torso left or right. With all the different movements, it’s clear Lionhead was content on utilizing the full potential of motion-control.

According to an Xbox Live API Leak last year, an unnamed UK-based studio was working on an action RPG with the codename of “Wisdom.” While internal titles are rarely used upon release, Wisdom is interesting in that it seems to be a reference to the magic system in Fable . Since the Fable games have always been about the passage of time as well, most famously the in prison sequence of Fable 2 , a story that spans a character's entire life could fittingly be titled Fable: Wisd

Jack of Blades has managed to remain one of my all-time favourite antagonists in a video game. Partly down to his badass personality, but mostly for that iconic mask. Jack of Blades doesn't make an appearance in the sequel and threequel, and I think if the new game was to be set after the events of the first game, then having some way of summoning him back to Albion would be a good way to bring back an iconic evil charac

The star of the show is clearly the world of Albion. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, you can see how easy it is to be drawn in. Slightly cartoony visuals make the world so charming you will want to explore every area for fear of missing the smallest detail. It is easy to take the most menial task and turn it into hours of exploration and enjoyment, which also adds to the feeling that your options are limitless. Need to find an item? Why not take some time and search that forest for hidden treasure first. Need some side money? Well, Albion offers plenty of options to make it, from taking a real 9-5 job, becoming a store owner or slum lord, or even looting houses. Depending on your character type and play style, you can find something to do at any time without even delving into a single quest.
