Today instead of sitting at my apartment in the blazing heat, I’m standing in the noisy air-conditioned server room at work getting ready for a project launch tomorrow. While I wait for the endless Windows updates and hotfixes to install, what better way to pass the time than by reading my latest issue of GMR magazine? The good news is that it’s making the work pass quickly. The bad news is that it’s encouraging me to make a stop at EB Games on the way home.

The newest gotta have it game I’ve seen in here is Fable. Its development has been supervised by Peter Molyneux of Black & White fame and features music by Danny Elfman. It’s an RPG for XBOX and it’s promising a different adventure every time based on decisions you make at different stages of the game. I know lots of games have advertised this before and implemented it weakly, but these guys say they’re doing it for real. Regardless, when it comes out on September 14th, I’m likely to be plunking down my $50.
