Finally, some real menu-driven RPGs! As far as Fable goes, I really enjoyed the first game, but I was let down, since it left out so many features. At the time, I vowed never again to buy another Molynoux game. I'll probably keep that vow. :) You nailed it - Squaresoft’s acceptance of the Xbox 360 is very exciting.

A recent report from 1up.com stated that the vid for Killzone 2 was scripted and pre-renedered, howver, Sony execs have stated that they wanted veryone to know what they could exect on launch day. Hype or truth? Are you going to be able to sleep at night knowing that you play games on a inferior machine? Will you be able to endure the next 4 years listening to PS3 fanbois chanting, "Your machine sucks!"? With regards to the software issue; since this Cell tech is new, what kind of programming set backs can we expect? With the Xbox 360 supposedly going for $399US, and the PS3 slated for less than 50,000 yen (accordingly about $465US), a) who will be losing more money on each console sold, and b) will this make a difference on the total number sold (recognizing that Sony outsold Xbox 3 to 1)? Lastly, are you forgetting about RPG behemoth Square? Surely they will make you happy as well, along with Fable 2. That is all for now. You're probably still recovering from your late night with Darth Vader. My dear Sandstone:
