So much to do, so many decisions both big and small, Fable 2 expands on its forebear in scope, without taking away the soul of the original. Peter Molyneux and his Lionhead Studio team flirt with the dangerous when it comes to game design, but they pull it off in this classic RPG.

I always thought politicians simply chased votes by going with the public flow. Well it is refreshing to see one that sticks to his guns regardless of the overwhelming public attitude against his stance. Again the rather logical introduction of an R18+ classification for video games seems to be sunk by the South Australian Attorney General's out of step attitude.

Is it just me? Or do others feel angry that we seem to have and Australian government so out of tune with the technological needs of the country? It is not only embarrassing that we have a federal group of ministers hell-bent on making our bits and bytes G rated, but annoying that they spend our hard earned tax dollars on net filters and irrelevant classification systems. All of which fly in the eye of popular opinion, to garner some minority support.

Does a game where purchasing a stall at the town market, marrying (err. Maybe a couple of times) and (kinda) settling down or training your dog to fetch a ball sound like your kind of game? Well, maybe not when it is put like that, but Fable 2 is definitely going to be a game you will remember.

Pinata's are for beating with sticks, right? In this game it is all about cultivating a garden to attract the cute little bugga's, make them happy with nice surroundings and friends, fill them with candy and then, and only then, beat them with a stick.
