Capcom employee recreates Fable II’s Fortune’s Tower pub game

December 6th, 2009 at 04:00pm Under Xbox 360

This has to be the most endearing display of cross-developer love we’ve seen during our games writing careers. Capcom’s Shawn Baxter (a.k.a. “Snow,”) recently posted on the company’s community blog about his latest D.I.Y. project — a real-life version of Fortune’s Tower, one of the pub games featured in Fable II. Oh, and in Fable II Pub Games, though you probably didn’t need us to tell you that.

Words can’t really describe this two-month, $400 project as well as pictures, so hop on over to Capcom’s blog and check out the delectable fruits of Baxter’s labor. If you’re of a crafty ilk, the post also contains a few blueprints you can follow to make your own Fortune’s Tower set. We probably won’t post about yours, though. This is a one-time thing.

Reminder: Fable II Pub Games is Xbox Live ‘deal’ of the week

October 26th, 2009 at 02:15pm Under Xbox 360


Fable 2’s Pub Games was a brilliant way to prep players for adventures in Albion before the game’s release last year, but its post-launch price of $10 seemed like a bit of a gamble. It’s this week’s Xbox Marketplace “deal” at 400 ($5).

Considering that Pub Games was designed as a glorified piece of marketing, wouldn’t it make sense to release it for free to generate renewed interest in the Fable 2: Game of the Year Edition (in which it is also included) or the episodic download? Surely that’s the better bet.

Microsoft details October’s Xbox Live Deal of the Week specials [update]

October 9th, 2009 at 11:15am Under Xbox 360

Update: Houston, we have prices!

As you already know, this week’s Xbox Live Deal of the Week is none other than Prince of Persia’s ‘Epilogue’ DLC. We’re not here to talk about that, though — instead, we’re here to give you the heads up on what the rest of this month has in store for penny-pinching purchasers looking for goodies on Xbox Live. So let’s get to it:

October 12

October 19

October 26

Pub Games is the only title with its planned discount listed, so you’ll have to wait until the appropriate time to know how much the others are discounted for. We’re sorry we boggled your mind with savings, only to battle your ship — ah, forget it, that joke could never work.
