#ANY CHANCE OF FABLE 2 FOR PC FOR FREE#
It’s also worth pointing out that several retailers are giving away Pub Games for free to people who pre-order the main title. In fairness to the developers, we’ll wager that there will be far more people in the former category than in the latter.
Meanwhile, undecided shoppers who give Pub Games a go will discover a powerful incentive to buy the full title – what else will you do with all that hoarded gold? And what about the magic apple pie you just won – don’t you want to see what that will look like in-game? People who would have bought Fable II anyway will enjoy the mini-games and get all fired up ahead of October’s release, building anticipation for the launch. It’s a sly move indeed from Lionhead, who supervised the development team at Carbonated Games. Once that comes out, you’ll be able to merge your Pub Games profile with your newly-created adventurer… and Hey Presto! Suddenly your hero will find his pockets stuffed with filthy lucre which can then be spent on hookers (possibly), cocaine (doubtful) and fast cars (definitely not). The title serves up three neat little gambling games with the idea being to accumulate gold and other prizes ahead of the release of the full-blown Fable II. Where is the thrill in hitting a royal flush in poker if your winnings are paid out in pretend money? It’s not like you can blow it all on pretend hookers, pretend cocaine and pretend fast cars.įable II: Pub Games neatly sidesteps this problem in fact, it turns the whole situation to its advantage. Without any sense of risk – or the chance to get rich quick – most games are reduced to a hollow experience that gets dull pretty quickly. There has always been a slight problem with gambling video games, in that they take a real-world vice and invariably remove the most important ingredient: the chance to win or lose large sums of cash.
