Fable III to be another gaming legend

If there's one game I've play to death these past few years, it's Fable II. It's not often I get so immersed in a virtual world and then when I get to the end of the story, restart it and play all over again to discover all the hidden bits I'd missed the first time round. And I normally detest frolicking with goblins and orcs.

It's for that very reason that I'm simply salivating at the prospect of the third in the series, which is scheduled for release sometime towards the end of this year. The blog has already aired its opinions on what should be added to the new version, and there have been plenty of teasers and tidbits emerging in recent months but little about the game's actual content. It appears, however, that those lucky fellows over at Gamespot were able to grab a few moments with Mr Molyneux and see first hand what the new version will have to offer...

It certainly sounds as though its full of new ideas and stands a pretty decent chance of improving upon its predecessors - for once, a Molyneux game may not all be hyperbole and could live up to its expectations. He's still suggesting that the intriguingly named motion controller Natal will play a part in the game too but for those who don't want to stump up the cash, it's good to see that the tried and tested controller will remain the core input device!

It's also nice to hear that the rather weak co-operative element in the second game will be improved upon... no longer will you take on the role of a random character you couldn't give a monkeys about. Instead, you and a friend will be able to play as your own character, allowing you to develop your skills and personalities further. Well done, Molyneux!
