Fable Anniversary

RPGs are probably my favorite type of video games above everything else! Being able to do what you want when you want is great! Especially when there is a great story to go with it.
The Fable series has always been a favorite since the first Fable for original Xbox. Being given the opportunity to make your own choices that affect you and the world around you is great and so is being able to explore a beautiful place like Albion!
I have just recently bought Fable Anniversary and so far it has been an amazing experience and I expect it to have the same effect on me each time I play. The games graphics are way more vibrant and detailed than the original but still maintains the same gameplay that the original provided. Also the inclusion of all the quests from Fable: The Lost Chapters, which was a PC title, is pretty nice because having not played TLC the game felt a bit more refreshing.
Since this is not really a new game but more of a re-release, there isn't too much to say about it besides that if you are even mildly interested in RPGs I would give it a try! Fable's atmosphere is very colorful and beautiful and is very fun and rewarding to explore. To get the most fun out of this game you need to explore and do side quests or else the game will end very quick and the experience will not be as immersive as it is intended to be.
The games retail price is at an unbeatable $39.99 and is also available for digital download on the xbox live marketplace.
Hello Fellow Gamers!
Hi everyone! My name is Nolan and I love video games! Before I get started with this "blogging" thing I want to take a second to tell you all a little about myself before we get to the good stuff!
I am from upstate New York and am currently a Sophomore at St. Joseph's College of Maine. Also known as Hoth during the winter for all of you Star Wars fans out there! My major in college is communications with a focus in new media. Someday I hope to be involved with a gaming company with press and and other areas of communication in the company; I am still in my fourth semester of college so I'm still figuring what I really want to do. Also, working with the NHL (National Hockey League) would be another dream come true! Why the NHL? Well, obviously by the name of the blog I would love to be involved with video games, but I have been playing hockey my whole life and I really love everything about the sport! But we will leave it at that because this is a GAMING blog!
I also enjoy offroading with my dirt bike and four wheeler! Its a great way to get away from everything sometimes. I love anything with a motor that will take me down the trails and on an adventure! Some could say, for a gamer I'm pretty outdoorsy!
But enough of my life, lets get down to video games! My first gaming console was a Playstation 1. It didn't get that much use because I was still kind of young to understand how to play. It was when I got my Nintendo 64 that I started putting some serious crunch time into Super Mario 64 and shooting my friends up in 007 as well as many other games! Then came my Nintendo Gamecube. Its actually a funny story of how I acquired mine! I was in the middle of my youth hockey season in about 2nd or 3rd grade. I really wanted a Gamecube but both my birthday and Christmas had already passed. But, one Saturday morning on the way to my hockey game I explained how much I wanted a Gamecube to my mother. She then said to me, "If you score a hat trick this game, I will buy you a Gamecube." (a hat trick is 3 goals in one game). I took her up on that and shook her hand on it. Did I actually think I would get a hat trick at this game? Of course not! Scoring one goal in hockey is pretty hard. But it happened and I got my Gamecube! Maybe in a later post I will explain the story more, or possibly on my upcoming YouTube channel. Next was my first gaming love. My original Xbox! It was here I fell in love with Halo, Fable, and a few others. Halo 2's online multiplayer really got me into gaming as a community. Next, I got my Xbox 360. What gamer doesn't at least have a 360? Yes that is my opinion as far as PS3 and Xbox 360 go. Unfortunately, my 360 kept breaking so I invested in the 320 gb HALO 4 Edition Console. The thing is beautiful! And now, I have my PS4! Yes I know what you are thinking, what a traitor! Yes, I did say xbox 360 was better than ps3 in my opinion but in this current generation I rather have a PS4 than Xbox ONE; I will get into that at a later post.
Some of my favorite genres are: Adventure and RPG games (Fable, Elder Scrolls, and Assassins Creed if its possible to classify it as an RPG when its technically action/adventure), shooters, horror games like Outlast and Amnesia, racing, and indie games.
Well, theres my little introduction for you guys! I hope you all enjoy what will come in the future on this blog! Also, watch for my upcoming YouTube channel! I will post a link to it when I work everything out (I do have lots of studying and hockey practice!). And I do appreciate feedback as I want to be successful with blogging! So please leave comments below and feel free to contact me with anything else!
Happy Gaming!
- Nolan
