Clearly, Fable II has to tell a story. Unfortunately, the designers are so intent on telling this story that everything else becomes secondary.
Fable II is the first game I finished after my vow to actually finish games I started playing. I thought it would be a good idea to write reviews of those games as well, as a way to analyse its strengths and weaknesses, as well as strengthening my own analytical eye.
Eigentlich bloss ein kurzer Reminder, weil man das ja sowieso eigentlich kennen müsste, wenn man Game Designer im Raum Zürich ist: Das ursprünglich wöchentliche Treffen ist inzwischen monatlich, jeweils am ersten Donnerstag des Monats – erstmals am 6.

The world building in Bioshock is excellent, be its embedment into the historical background, or the rich story that shines through at every corner, or finally the beautifully captured art deco architecture, which...

Still, there are some bugs around. It might be best to understand the current state of the game as a tech demo: Most of the functionality is here, but it still lacks content and proper balancing. Play...
Hm ... more traffic for that
