Is there already a game in which 360 gamers can play against PC gamers? I read in some really early Xbox360 article (before it was released) that it'd get this option, but in a later magazine I read it was big epic phail.

As far as i know, they're still working on it. Cross platform is quite difficult.

Would be fun.. but surely it would make the games less balanced? As in.. for example, arn't FPS games much easier with a mouse?

Sold my Xbox anyway, don't feel like a 360. Tell me when it comes out for the Wii (probably never) so I can block and flourish with the wiimote ;-)

Fable 1 was ok, and I actually liked the disfigurement factor. Played it once through as good and once as evil (my daughter insisted). I don't understand people "rushing" through it in 8-12 hours though.
If faith is a crutch, I'm not limping anymore.

Idd...Well the reviewer rushed through Fable II in 22 hours so you should be fine for a while ;D hehe

Now I read the review I can't wait till tomorrow >.< What I'm still hoping is that it'll be a real world this time instead of seperate parts with loading time inbetween, haven't found anything about that subject so meh, can't imagine that they left it in the game tho.

Nah, some people are actually better with a controller. It also depends on the game. Halo3 for instance, i would slap every PC gamer silly.

Did you also notice my rank? and compared it to the amount of social matches?

Gunnery Sergeant (50exp) and about 200+ matches.

Needless to say, yes i did a lot of teamkilling, and yes i got booted from a lot of games ;p

Which lowers your exp and overall score. I've been at 1exp for quite a while.

My stats for the last 3 weeks should be pro again.

Oh yes you can ;p

After (in my case) 2 teamkills on the same person, he get's the option to either forgive me, or boot me from the match.

Usually they're idiots, thinking they can win on there own, and boot me.

My friend got booted once because he betrayed someone that betrayed me right after I got a frenzy -_- Too bad that guy didn't know that friend and I were playing on the same xbox XD

Anyway...So how do you all like Fable II? I just finished the first time in the Spire, got a lovely wife with a nice kid, some stalls/houses in Bowerstone. Got Inferno maxed (lvl 5) and it's HUGE O_O : )

So tell me your progress =p

In like...1.5 year? I have no clue but I don't think it'll come fast for the pc xD

Fable released on 8 Oct 2004 for the xbox and 25 Sept 2005 for the pc. So that was just under a year. I'd take that as a guideline I guess, or even longer since this game is way bigger etc.

Another one of my friends got it so i got to play a little. The world seems a bit bigger the areas between load times seem larger and everything is nicely done, tons of hidden stuff lying of the trail so its worth it to explore. I both like and dislike the magic system only. In a way its perfect because it uses a charge system where the higher lvl the spell the longer it takes to charge and theres 5 charge levels. The problem with that is that i have 3 lvl 1 spells and theres no easy way to switch between them at any given moment. I had lightning, Blades, and Time Slow and all 3 are good but in combat i just stuck with one cause it was to time consuming to switch. But this problem was pretty much solved once i got lvl2 lightning. So now i my fast cast is Time Slow and if i keep charge it i get lvl 2 lighting which i can focus on one enemy or do an AoE, coupled with Time Slow its pretty effective but once i get lvl 2 rime slow i going to end up running into the same problem. Meh. Melee combat feels good and theres lots of room for you to grow with Melee and Range weapons. So far its off to a slow start and most of the sidequest aren't anything exciting but i haven't played it too much so i expect it to pick up.

So far its good stuff...

You're right about that charge system...I only have 1 lvl 5 spell since you can hardly switch and it cost a shitload to max it. The way I charge is: lvl 1 slow time, lvl 2 slow time, lvl 3 chaos, lvl 2 slow time, lvl 5 inferno. You can 1hit like 10 bandits with the area attack.

I got 4 Legendary weps now (2 melee, 2 ranged) and after today I got like 700/800k strength/skill/will xp and just over 1mil general waiting to get spend : ) I also own like whole Oakvale and the Gypsy Camp (sp?) and some parts of bowerstone market district. =]

I got site with all the Legendary weapons and demon doors and how to get them, and a nice trick to make nice money ;) Just ask me if you want it.
