Well, I have had a chance to play Fable III now for about 3.5 hours.  So far I am really happy with the game.  There have been enough improvements to make it new and interesting while keeping the same Fable that we all know and love.

Here is a concise list of the pros and cons that I have encountered so far.  A more in-depth review will be coming soon after I have a chance to really play the game.  As Dezign and I learned with Crackdown 2, opinions can change a lot in a week.

Pros:

• Visually stunning.  A few graphical glitches here and there but I will just overlook those.
• The music and sound fx are amazing and immersive.
• Good plot.
• Chickens!  The intro made me love them.
• The poster artwork during loading pages is very intriguing and well done.

Cons:

• Using expressions with villagers seems clunkier and takes more time.
• I want my health bar back!  I want to know how bad I am hurt before I use a health potion.  This is the only thing that I totally hate about the game right now.

Waiting to Decide:

• There is a new interface that replaces the old menus.  Initially, I was not a fan but it may be growing on me.  I can see this as a huge plus for more casual gamers and for those who have not played Fable before.

NyX is made up of a group of diverse girls, but we all have a few things in common. We all like to blow shit up, and drive like a soccer mom late for soccer practice. Forget the flowers, the way to a NyX grrl’s heart is a brand new shiny Xbox game.
