Splitkick: Fable Heroes is a simple but soulless romp.
The puppet characters and dollhouse levels literally represent the patchwork of ideas taken from other titles. On the surface, Fable Heroes looks like a cross between LittleBigPlanet and a children’s beat’em up with graphics that are both technically and artistically terrible. Mechanically, it is similar to the Lego games; it replaces studs with coins, removes the jump button, and drops any environment interaction. Your party of four adventurers travel an overworld map just like Castle Crashers. At the end of each level, you fight a boss or play a Mario Party style mini-game to defeat your friends and earn a large bonus in gold which is tallied to determine a winner of each level. In a game you can beat by just pressing X, two whole buttons are dedicated to changing your facial expression (ala LittleBigPlanet, again).
Fable Heroes launched 10 years ago today, and is a worthwhile revisit on your Xbox Series X|S as you await the upcoming reboot.
Great little side scroller, now if we could only get a Pub Games and Coin Golf combo release.
In February on Xbox One, race across a legendary mountain course in TT Isle of Man and then dive deep into the depths of Lovecraftian horror in Call of Cthulhu. On Xbox 360, and Xbox One via Backward Compatibility, enjoy a fresh spin on a beloved franchise in Fable Heroes then play an all-time classic in Star Wars Battlefront.
I thought BF was already offered on gold..... Or was that BF2?
As for the others, I been wanting to play TT and CoC so I'm good with these.

Call of Cthulhu is pretty good. I got the plat on ps4 so I’m not downloading. Don’t care about the others.

"Why am I prompted to sign into Twitter just to read the article? Is it just a tweet?"
Maybe to show the BC Xbox Team your support, like i did. Your call. ;)
I show that $$$ support. I refuse social media. N4g is my daily dose of net poison lol
Fingers crossed I get an Xbox one s for my birthday. I've already started getting a few BC games already like lost oddeaey
Lost Odyssey is a great choice!
Loved it and wishing for a sequel or prequel after completing the game I wanted more!!!
i had an xbox one s last year that i got for my birthday collected a huge collection of BCC titles it was great but had to sell it to get iphone for daughter for xmas lol il get collecting again need to get hold of blue dragon thats imo the best bcc game as it feels like a remaster locked at 30 with higher sample rate
I remember playing Sensible Soccer on the Amiga back in the 90's. That game was legendary for its time. Couldn't play it now though, can't deal with the graphics.
