Rumour – Fable II: GOTY edition spotted [Update]
According to Console Monster, Play.com and ShopTo are listing a Game of the Year version of Fable II, which features past DLC like Knothole Island and See the Future.
Check out the listings from Play.com and ShopTo listings here and here respectively.
Is this Lionhead’s big announcement for Cologne? Of course not, you’d be silly to think so, although we wouldn’t rule it out for an appearance during the MS conference on Wednesday morning.
We’re gonna check in with MS to see if there is any weight on it.
Update: Play.com listing added. Thanks, Roybott.

When X-Play named it GOTY, the shit really hit the fan.

“Its Microsofts game of the year”

The way people are talking you’d think this game averaged in the 70s.
@Gekidami: I can only assume you never played Gears 2 because you obviously don’t have the slightest clue what you’re talking about.

Fable II was easily one of the best games last year.

“The first one was why not this one?”
Turns out everyone was saying that there’s no point in getting a 360 when all the exclusives come to the PC… so Microsoft did something about it.

So… from this and various other similar packages we can draw the following conclusion:
Publishers would like us to wait a year before buying this Christmas’s big titles.
Right?
