When Fable first came out, it was pretty much universally thrashed for not living up to expectations.  I think that we all learned a lesson from that: Molyneux learned not to over-hype his games, and we as gamers learned to wait and see.

All in all though, I remember breezing through that game in a relatively short amount of time (something to the tune of 10ish hours if my memory serves me correctly) and thinking, “That was fun… but it wasn’t definitive”.

I’ve sort of purposely not sought out information on the upcoming sequel, but I’m holding out high hope.   I WANT to love Fable…

Speaking of other games I want to love… the upcoming Penny-Arcade will hold a special place in my heart.  I trust the think-tank over at PA to deliver nothing less than a stellar experience with a fantastic story, as Tycho’s writing skills are top notch.  Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness game trailer over at the xbox live site.
