If Peter Molyneux had to review Fable II, what score would he give it? Putting aside the fact that:
During my interview yesterday Lionhead Studio’s Sam Van Tilburgh was pretty mum about the gold-churning glitch that was discovered in Fable 2′s pre-release mini Pub Games.
Fable 2′s pub games was the first cross-over Xbox Live title that let you earn something for a retail game by playing. Sure it was glitched, but they’re fixing it, and it’s a very neat idea.
Fable 2 was classifed just two days ago, while the XBLA-bound Pub Games has been sitting in the database since mid-last month. So it’s no surprise Microsoft has fired out a press release today declaring that Pub Games is now out on Xbox Live Arcade and the contents of the Collector’s Edition.
According to the release, Pub Games is 800 MS points, or free it you preorder the game from a “participating retailer” (listed after the jump). Pub Games comes with the following “casino-styled” diversions:
Keystone: A combination of Craps and Roulette Spinnerbox: An updated take on slot machines Fortune’s Tower: A “press your luck” style of game
These should keep you occupied for two minutes or eternity, depending on how big a gambler you are. As for the CE, it’s packed with a number of goodies, including bonus in-game content (a dungeon and a weapon no less), five “Fate” cards and a figurine. This will set you back $119.95, while the normal game is $99.95. October 23 is given as a local launch date.
Full press release after the jump!
