Yet more date confirmations abound, as Microsoft and the ever happy/trippy/mildly insane Peter Molyneux have announced that Fable 2 will be hitting our dusty store shelves sometime in October.

The title itself got a thorough airing at E3, with most critical press being overwhelming positive about just the sheer spectrum of things that you can do between being good or evil.

Everything from (un)protected sex, getting pregnant, getting married, having kids, having an affair, taking care of a pet dog that mimics your behaviour, learning weapon skills, buying property, taking on new quests…. and on and on…

I quite simply don’t have a whole day to go through what makes this game so special in the detail that I would like. So i’ll narrow it down to the first three points that shoot into my caffeine addled brain:

1) You can have a family and depending on how you act they will love or hate you and behave accordingly
2) It has drop-in, drop-out co-op (all the rage these days it seems)
3) You can get a sculptor to a sculpt a statue of you that can be revered if you’re a goodie, or pissed on if you’re a baddie

More soon.
