Fable Heroes – Fan Service and Looking Back at the History of Fable
Posted by Game Spot on Mar 05, 2012 | Leave a Comment
The upcoming multiplayer-focused action game looks to be approachable to all but still rewards longtime fans of the Fable Universe.
The pairing of a console Fable game with an Xbox Live spin-off is not foreign. Prior to Fable II’s release, Fable II Pub Games gave players the opportunity to amass a large bounty of money that carried into the main game. A similar system will be in place with Fable Heroes, the upcoming four-player action game that will unlock additional...
Why It’s Not Too Early to Get Excited Over Forza Horizon
Posted by Game Spot on Mar 05, 2012 | Leave a Comment
There aren’t a lot of concrete details about this Forza spin-off, but there are some strong reasons for optimism.
The next game in the Forza franchise won’t be called Forza Motorsport 5. In fact, it won’t even be developed by Turn 10. It’s a spin-off arriving this fall by the name of Forza Horizon, and it’s the product of UK startup Playground Games. Now, if you’re a Forza purist who’s already prepared to write this game off, you might want to take a step...

Last year, Microsoft released Kinect: Disneyland Adventures, a surprisingly fun and well-crafted game featuring the titular theme park and tons of Disney details (our very own Jack DeVries gave it an 8.5). Now Microsoft Studios is looking to take a second swing at a Disney Kinect game with Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure. While Kinect Rush bears more than a passing resemblance to Disneyland Adventures, the game takes great strides to forge its own piece in the family fun market, offering...
OP-ED: Why Ignoring Achievements Was the Smartest Thing I Ever Did
Posted by 1UP on Mar 02, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Like many others, I have both loved and hated Achievements and Trophies at different points in time. I now sit at a point where I care about them far less than I have in the past, and I could not be more thankful for that.
The PlayStation Blog today published a list of the most Platinum’d games on PlayStation 3. Platinum Trophies, contained within many but not all games, are handed out for earning every Trophy a game has to offer. The difficulty and amount of time required to earn a Platinum...
OP-ED: Staying Shepard: Character Consistency Within Mass Effect
Posted by 1UP on Mar 02, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Though it’s not advertised as such, Mass Effect may be the most successful episodic series ever made. Since we saw the last Half-Life episode, BioWare’s entire space trilogy has played out over three successful installments, each one refining the flaws of the past. Of course, Mass Effect is a bit different than Half-Life in that you play a character wholly defined by your own choices; Shepard’s status as a no-nonsense renegade or a peaceful paragon hinges on countless player...

We unleash our inner beast, duel with Darth Vader, and even dance the night away in the latest build of a game made in a galaxy far, far away.
The last time we had a hands-on with LucasArts and Terminal Reality’s Kinect Star Wars for the Xbox 360 was way back at last year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. Back then, we used the Force to push away droids and slice up foes with a lightsaber on Bespin. Xbox Singapore recently held a Star Wars-themed event where the main focus was...
