  Fable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In its strict sense a fable is a short story or folk tale embodying a moral, which may be expressed explicitly at the end as a maxim.
"Fable" comes from Latin fabula (meaning 'conversation', 'narrative', 'tale') and shares a root with faber, "maker, artificer." Thus, though a fable may be conversational in tone, the understanding from the outset is that it is an invention, a fiction.
A familiar theme in Slavic fables is an encounter between a wily peasant and the Devil.

 Fable (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fable is a video game developed by Big Blue Box, a satellite of Lionhead Studios, and published by Microsoft for Xbox.
An extended version of the game, Fable: The Lost Chapters, was released for both Windows and Xbox on October 18, 2005 (although the Windows version was leaked by a warez group in August), and is also currently being ported to Mac OS X by Feral Interactive, set for release at the end of September 2006.
The game centers on the only playable character, a male referred to by his title or only as the "Hero" (all of the members of the Heroes' Guild, even those who are evil, are referred to as "Heroes").

Most video game publishing companies, such as Electronic Arts, Activision, and Sony, do maintain development studios, but these companies are generally called "publishers" and not "developers", as publishing is the primary activity of these companies, and is the source of most of their income.

The complexity of the workflow in video game creation makes it very difficult to manage the team's schedules, meaning that it is an unusual project that does not surprise its managers with slippage at some point.

Fable also saves interesting statistics, such as how many spouses you have, your favorite weapon, times you've been kicked out of a city, etc. You can also buy houses which are a must if you want to marry, rent out, or live in them.
The length of the game is another disappointment, although with the weak storyline, it almost works better to cut it short.

The role-playing game seems to be in real danger of collapsing in upon itself with many new titles appearing almost indistinguishable from each other and increasing complexity making them extremely off-putting for all but existing fans of the genre.
Fable is played entirely in real-time, so there are no random encounters or turn-based battles to endure; your character gains experience in four main areas--general, strength, skill and will--during all their actions from combat to talking to villagers.
The game's real flexibility though is in the way you interact with other characters in the game, with the option to charm, bribe, intimidate and flatter as appropriate.

 Fable Video Game Review for the XBox
Fable for the XBox has gone through many name changes, but it had originally started out as Project Ego; which is fitting considering how vain the character is. Fable is a model game worthy of being a prototype for the games of the future.
Fable is a fairly straightforward action game with plenty of extras to grab your attention and hold onto it.
The sound for the game is nothing to balk at; the acting is well done and the soundtrack sets the perfect tone.

 Fable - xbox Review - Game Revolution
Unlike in other games, your hero is not constrained to a specific class or skill set, which means you will likely become proficient at all three combat disciplines: melee, archery and magic.
Most of the quests are directly related to the story, and the game constantly reminds you of these by periodically mentioning that “an important quest is waiting at the guild.” There are a few side quests to enjoy, but hardly enough to really extend the game.
Though the facial animations are stiff, the fact that the game keeps track of the waking/sleeping schedules for just about all of its inhabitants is in itself a worthy accomplishment.

 Xbox Live Arcade - Wik: Fable Of Souls Microsoft Xbox 360 Video Game Review by AceGamez
In 2005, the Independent Games Festival awarded Wik with the title of Downloadable Game of the Year and what better way to follow up on that success than to create a version for a system that specifically promotes downloadable content.
In story mode you learn the fable that surrounds Wik, how his family was killed and he awoke with little recollection of who he was or how he got to the middle of the forest.
Wik: Fable of Souls is simply a fun downloadable game, so go on and give the demo a try, and if you like it, purchase the full version.

 IGN: Fable Review
Though Fable is indeed a game about freedom and choice, it is not nearly as wide-open as Bethesda's mammoth RPG -- and for that I am a little thankful.
Fable is easily one of the most anticipated games of this console generation, and one of the most hyped as well.
Fable's story is serviceable, but not extraordinary, which is really what keeps it from the upper-echelon of role-playing games.

Fable for xbox is one of the best games for xbox in my mind.
In the story line of Fable you are a child that is separated from his family and story you become a hero and you find your family.
Comparable to other games of this genre (role-playing, rpg), it certainly has it's own aspects that make it it's own, including of course the ability to sculpt your persona by doing either good or evil deeds.

The game in question now is Wik: Fable of Souls, quite an odd title for a fairly simple game.
I say this is odd because really I can't remember an arcade game which kept me interested throughout by means of telling a story.
Audio: Since this is a small downloadable game that originated on the PC and then was only around 13Mb in size, the audio is a very simple eerie affair which sets an ominous tone to the game.

I loved that game, but my only qualm with it was that it was super short.
All of these are evil things that definitely will not put in anyones good graces, so for the good guys I reccommend completing the game and letting it go past the point when you win, and them changing your title back to chickenchaser to allow the horrible mockery to continue in an odd fashion.
Man, I beat the game and want to do the continue part afterwards, but the game says there is a problem with the disk at the end of the credits.
