Fable 2

Just started playing Fable 2 and so far it is fantastic. The creators of the game also included a very interesting innovation as well. During the first mission you come across a treasure chest that asks you to log onto the website www.fable2.com to something about ancients and all that jazz. You log on and after figuring the only thing on the site must be what they are talking about, you go through a flash game and get some prize. While the whole thing was a bit of a waste of time; I found the whole idea incredibly fascinating. I can see how this interaction between the console gaming and your computer could make some very interesting possibilities. Most people who are playing games have a computer and internet connection, and most are probably like me who have the internet open while they are playing. While some are going to consider this concept just another way for shameless advertisement inside games, I really think that this innovation will open new doors in interactive gaming. Oh, and the game is really good too.
