1UP FM Tells Fables With Peter Molyneux

1UP writes: "In the screenshot, the crazed, music-creating madman represents 1UP FM. The villagers gawking at his insane antics stand in for you, our rapt listeners. Gather around, for this week we have an especially lurid tale to share with you. Our feature this week is a focus on Fable 2, including Garnett Lee's interview with the game's mastermind, Peter Molyneux. Then Garnett is joined by Alice Liang and Thierry Nguyen to compare notes on their hands-on time with Fable 2.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves! First Giancarlo Varanini joins us to share his feelings on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and discuss all the news and leaks coming from last week's GameStop Expo. Later Scott Sharkey gives us a peak into his fractured psyche with a look at the top five drugged out classic games. Tina Sanchez rips open the mailbag once more, and Alice joins us again along with David Ellis, Matt Chandronait, and Ryan O'Donnell for our second week with Indigo Prophecy on the Backlog."

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer164d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog164d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned164d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c164d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb164d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72163d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman164d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos163d ago (Edited 163d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows163d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

After Jedi: Survivor's Triumph, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Deserves A Revival

Following Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's conquest, it's the prime time to resurrect the Force-fueled action of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Tacoboto322d ago

Coming soon on the UE4 Engine, preorder to guarantee access to the Force Stutter ability available exclusively on PC before it gets removed after the launch window.

Rikimaru-00322d ago

this would be so awesome, i still play this game up till today.

Knightofelemia322d ago

I am not a Star Wars fan but I enjoyed the Force Unleashed and the sequel. Shadows of the Empire was another Star Wars game I also enjoyed.

RpgSama322d ago

I had Shadows of the Empire on N64 and I used to finish that game basically weekly. LOVED that game.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90327d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson328d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper327d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam327d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist327d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius327d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh
