I finished Fable II last week. It was a lot of fun, but it really didn't feel much longer than the original. I wanted a lot more gameplay. Did anyone else feel the same?
Lea's currently playing Fable I. I don't think she'll ever finish, though, because she has far too much fun making her character dance.
Fallout 3 - worth buying?
Hells yes.
I really want to play through Fable II. I am hopeful I might get to do it this month.
I have a couple of non-spoilery tips for you that will make the game a lot less annoying, Drew. Let me know when you finally get a chance to play.
I carpooled to a meeting today with a friend...who had the music from Fallout 3 playing in his car. Brilliant, brilliant musical choices.
I certainly know plenty of people who own & are enjoying Fallout 3 but it's such a huge time-sink that I am keeping my OCD-self away from it.
Little Big Planet continues to amuse. Me & SA played it for HOURS last weekend and I'm probably introducing it to Cass today. Also, talking of game music, LBP's music is earwormingly good throughout.
Some Buffistas need to join me for a 4-player LBP fest. Hilarity will ensue.
Pete (et al), I'd be up for some LBP, if not this weekend then sometime soon. I'd have to figure out how the, umm, online playing with other people doohickeywhatis stuff works, but LBP seems like a fab way to sink into that particular timesink.
(I'm starting to realize that my cunning plan of spending my entire upcoming vacation catching up on all the games I haven't had time to play lately is going to have some very strange effects on my poor brane.)
I would like to join for LBP as well. I get back from Orlando tomorrow night, so maybe this weekend sometime.
ND, this weekend is doable.
Amych, I don't have your Psn ID. FYI, the weekend of 12-14 is completely out due to a fully booked social calender.
Anyone else here tried Race for the Galaxy? It's a card game, based on the same play principles as Puerto Rico. I find it more enjoyable than PR - it has more replay value, and it avoids entirely one problem for which PR is criticised, that seating order can affect the outcome (i.e. if there's a weak or inexperienced player, the person to their right gets an inordinate boost).
There's also an expansion set, The Gathering Storm, which is well worth it.
