Year of the Video Game

Recently my blog focus has been primarily on video games, but unfortunately, or fortunately I should be saying, this week is no different.

12:01 a.m. on Oct. 21, 2008, marked the release of a long awaited title for nerds like me, Fable II. This action role-playing game places you in the foots of a character I have come to know as Sparrow, and in this game you control everything he does.

Fable II gives you the ability to make life decisions, be they good or evil, and on my first play through of this game, I am going to be the evil person, and will give one example of a "life changing decision". After clearing the road of Thag the Bandit, you receive a key to free two people who have been taken captive by Thag. You have the decision to either fight off another bandit and free the slaves, or hand over the key to the bandit and take your first steps towards evildom.

I'm sure in the coming week this game will take up much of my time, and for any of you XBox 360( sorry PS3 owners) this is one you should pick up.
