As Xbox 360's 4th reunion nears, I have decided to take a look back into this great franchises success.

While Fable II has become the best-selling Role-Playing Game yet released on Xbox 360, there are apparently some who still have not experienced the magic and adventures that await them in Albion. The launch of Fable II: Game Episodes will debut September 29, 2009, with the release of the first episode for free download exclusively on Xbox LIVE.

Russ writes "It's so true. While it might be worth it if you are interested in other genres, B&M stores have passed by the RPG genre again this week. Such practices will not last for long with titles like Dragon Age: Origins and Alpha Protocol hitting stores this Fall. Expect those to be the welcome casualties of $10 off sales – the Fallout 3 GOTY edition will be the same.
