Fable II is Telegraph’s game of the year

Lionhead’s Fable II is the Daily Telegraph’s game of the year, leading a list of 50 potential candidates.

The UK paper put Fallout 3 at second and LittleBigPlanet at third. GTA IV managed a paltry seventh: probably wasn’t the right sort, if you catch my drift, sah.

I loved Fable 2 and plan on revisiting it eventually, but I have to say that the best game of the year is GTA IV with Fallout 3 nipping at it’s heels.

this is ridiculous, Fable2 doesn’t deserve this. that’s simply biased.

and Lost Odyssey, Condemned2? how?

that list looks like a MS advert.
