Fable lost or soon reborn (hiperlinks added, reviseons made)





Unless you weren’t an owner of the large black and green four hundred dollar Xbox console: than you have probably herd of a game called “Fable” created by Microsoft Game Studios. When I purchased Fable it wasn’t new, it actually had been out for a while and was marked down from forty nine to twenty nine signifying the drop in popularity. The game play is considered RPG but the actual is evolving RPG witch isn’t an official game type but I think it should be.

The game follows a little boy after his town is burned and he is left for dead, a guild of hero’s take him in to train. As you play the character will age and so will the people you meet and interact with in the towns. Once you have trained in wizardry and sword fighting you can go off and literally make a name for your self. From the beginning of the story you have no name, until you become a hero and win some battles than your title is hero unless you buy a new title.

The character has a light and dark side depending on what missions you take and how you act in real time. In the game there are always choices between good and bad and the choices you make determines your characters look. If my character has very little magic but a lot of strength and speed than he will look buffer and more athletic, than say if I new a lot of magic and had very little muscle. An evil character, someone who fulfils bad tasks and disobeys the law or kills innocents will be rewarded with devil horns and more aggressive magic. If your not for the dark side than you are rewarded with a halo around your head and a glowing aura around you. My friend played with his character and got him to be really evil, I prefer the opposite a wise wizard instead of a powerful mage. my final words i would say pick this relic up from your local Gamestop or EBgames, and try it out, you may like it.

Now this blog is really getting some life! Okay, good. Now pick up on your momentum: work on grammar (e.g., that "heroes" apostrophe is incorrect and was even on our quiz!) and watch the rambling (the third paragraph could use some restructuring).

I am curious about how social gaming in for you (and others in class). Of course, people play online together. What percentage of your time playing video games is spent alone and what percentage is spent playing with others?
