Fable 2 - Review, Official Site Tidbits

Strong praise for Fable II in Edge Online's review, which carries a score of 9/10:

Choice has rarely had such a guilty laugh at the end of it. And with good reason, as Fable II needs the levity to offset some real bleakness. Quests that end unhappily or don’t go to plan. People whose fate is left in your hands – or, occasionally, who have you at their whim. Most of all, it manages, somehow and almost bloody-mindedly, to make your decisions matter. Not in the sense that the gameworld will change (though it often does), or in a ’be-good-for-this-prize’ way (though that, too, happens). You can tell they matter because you’ll be looking at the screen for more than 30 seconds, actually contemplating the possibilities and probabilities of selecting different options. One decision had us pondering for a good five minutes. It goes beyond what is usual, or even unusual, and while it won’t make you blub or reconsider your very being, it’ll make you think about your actions in a stark light.

...and over at the Lionhead site, Tales of Albion has been updated with Part 3 and their blog has an interview except that the explains co-op multiplayer.
