Lionhead Studios announced earlier today that Fable II has gone gold, which means that everything appears to be on track for a release Oct. 21 in NA, Oct. 24 in Europe.
To celebrate, the Lionhead team went to the pub last night and got a little tipsy. No word yet if anyone cheated at any games -- or if it was all part of Molyneux's master plan.
[Thanks, Rooshma]

Frankly I'm more hyped about Fable 2 then about Gears 2.

Ditto...
Actually no. I'm not even hyped for gears 2, I wdidn't go bananas over the first and the second one looks like more of the first but with an upgraded U3 engine.
Fable 2 : bring meh some of that sweet killing everything makes you evil and evil makes you powerfull and powerfull is cool!!!!! :D

Hyped-up RPGs like these are the reason I finally decided on a 360, I hope it can bring some good diversity to the system.

Yeah, he should've used buzz words and phrases such as "average", "meh", and "rent it if you must". Then it would've been a day ONE purchase. ;)

I've only ever heard of him saying it's "the best, most complete game I've ever worked on." Though he did talk of wanting it to be the 360's defining game. I actually think the clarity towards the shortfalls of the original Fable show a far more grounded molyneux than before.

I'm hoping that my rrod'd 360 gets back to me by the time this releases.

I had mine back the same week i sent it(this was about a month ago) You should be ok. They sent me a free month of xbox live as an apology and when I went to add it to my account, it told me the card wasn't active!

Nice, good to hear (well, not about the live card, that sucks). My shipping box should get to me on Thursday.

Link got INSIDE Zelda's panties in the second zelda game, you know, the one where she was asleep. Giggity Giggity Goo.
Even if he hadn't boned her, those Gerudo women screw like minxes. Then there is Saria, and Princess Ruto or whatever her name is(even if screwing a fish is downright disgusting)
For my money though? I'd nail Midna. Then I'd make her mai waiffu.

I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this game. I just prefer not to listen to Molyneux's hype.

I have severe doubts about this game since 1) It's a hyped Molyneux game and 2) All of the "big additions" seem to do nothing for the game other than make it more casual.
I'll get it eventually most likely but Farcry 2, Fallout 3, and Little Big Planet come first.

We can see his pro Sonyfanboy agenda with this entry, as he must mention little big planet in this article for little to no reason.
No really, what does that have to do with this article? You and your hate for anything not Sony.

Hrm no, try again. It could have something to do with all 4 of those games coming out on the same day. Maybe...yeah I think that's it.

Yeah damn this middle class college student for not being able to afford 4 games in one day.
I said I'm going to get it, so why do you care?
Wait, why am I conversing with a troll account created today?

Unheard of, no. Wrong, kinda.
Fable was a tremendous disappointment compared to the hype. I'm not exactly eagerly anticipating this one.

Uhh.. that doesn't mean Fable was a bad game lol.. in fact, people have said "Fable is a horrible game" only due to the fact that it was hyped and didn't have everything it promised.. but it was DAMN FUN.

I'm more and more excited about this game every day, the only games I'm hyped about more are Gears of War 2 and Resident Evil 5.
