Fable
(Big Blue Box/Microsoft for Xbox)
Entering a game world where your look, your attitude, your reputation, and your treatment of those around you intimately influences your progress, relationships, and opportunities is the stuff of RPG legend. Developer Big Blue Box is heading that direction with its massively ambitious RPG where what you wear can be as important as the weapon you wield.

With hidden stats recording your every action each encounter can play out in a unique way depending on your play style. It's in this open-endedness that Fable is blazing a trail for the Xbox. Watching your character age, hearing and seeing NPCs react to your actions, and feeling responsible for your moral choices of good and bad fill this epic adventure with a compelling hook rarely witnessed in the genre. And that's not to mention the amazing graphical achievement and vast breadth of opportunities around every corner. It's a model for RPG design that will serve as the blueprint for the next generation titles in this hugely important genre.
