Story:Fable 2 is the second game in the fable series by Lionhead Studios, it is an open world role-playing game. It has a simple story line where the hero needs to save Albion from the evil Lord Lucian by collecting together the other three heroes to defeat him. Interactive cut-scenes are a large part of the game however the main character never speaks and all dialogue is uncontrolled.
The game features a large variety of game play and freedom, allowing a player to shape the world around and the characters appearance and moral standing based on decisions throughout the game. The player can also get married both same and opposite sex and bring up children to childhood but no farther, expressions are a lot more interactive with NPC's than beforeShow more

With Fable (and later Fable III) being one of the games I have spent more hours with, and not having the console, I always hated Lionhead and Microsoft Games Studios for releasing Fable II exclusive on Xbox and not on PC. To this day I'm still waiting for them to release it at least on PC, and GOG would be the perfect site to have it.
I'm not even sure how they'd manage to port a console exclusive game to GOG, but if they do it would be WILD. I only played the game once, on PC, using an emulator. It was good for the most part except for some textures going black and my dog suddenly expands to fill the screen. If this game manages to arrive on GOG, I'd be so happy.
Fable was my first RPG in my whole life, and it's a franchise that has a special place in my heart.
Fable The Lost Chapters is my favorite from all the three games (four if you include the Journey, a game that I haven't played nor I will since I don't have a kinnect). but still, I love Fable II and III all the same.
Fable 1 and 2 are both incredibly important, helping to shape the action game umbrella and intentionally going against the grain to redefine the concept of role-playing video games. While the first is on PC in the form of a Steam release, it is unfair to new and old generations alike that Fable 2 and 3 are trapped on consoles that aren't manufactured, anymore. GOG releases would mean much for the preservation of video game history.
As an aside, I've noticed that many people are voting for Fable: TLC over the others. I'll point out that Fable: TLC is already DRM-free; while you must purchase it through Steam, you own it once you do and can run it without Steam even being installed. And you can link the executable to GOG Galaxy. If you're going to vote in this initiative, I encourage you to make sure that what you're voting for isn't already DRM-free and to prioritize games that haven't had the chance to come to PC in any form.
Fable 2 for me was one of the first games I really played growing up. It also so happened to be the first RPG I played and it really sucks to see it not ported to pc. One of the best RPG's on 360 for me
as savio said, fable was the first game i got on xbox..shame it never came to pc
but now it can thanks to gog!
please! i beg of you to bring it to computer so we dont have to emulate!
Fable 2 was the game I played in my childhood that helped me find peace and calm. Years later I’m about to have my first baby and I’m stressed… and I’m still playing this game to find peace. Idk how else to tell you this game is good.
I first played Fable 2 when I was 12 years old, it is one of the first RPG's I played. I remember coming home from school, stopping by my Dad's house, and deciding to stay the night because he'd just bought this game and wanted to try it with me. We ended up staying awake all night playing this, and by the end of the weekend we'd beaten the main story. Not only that, but the dog you get in the game looked almost exactly like the dog we had at the time (RIP) and it was fun as hell to slay bandits with my best friend.
HeroQuest II: Legacy of SorasilThe isometric role-playing game engine of the original Hero Quest license is reused in this sequel, set in the evil-infested land of Rhia. There are now 9 large missions to take on, with a largely linear progression in the order these are played. You can choose a team of 4 from 8 character classes, adding rangers, mystics, elves and clerics to the original game's 4. The exact abilities of these can be customized before you start.
The game is controlled using action icons at the bottom of a screen to set the basic instructions to move, fight, open doors, search for keys and so on. Characters can move individually, allowing for diverse strategies based on the specific strengths and weaknesses of these characters.Fantasy
HeroQuestThe famous fantasy-themed board game was converted into an isometric-viewed role playing game in which the evil Wizard Morcar must be defeated. You take control of a wizard, a dwarf, a barbarian and an elf, each with different strengths and weaknesses, who each start the 14 missions from opposite sides of the board.
Strict turn-based movement rules apply, as actions other than movement can only be carried out before or after the move, the size of which is limited by a dice roll. These moves are carried out using an icon-based system. Characters can fight the many monsters which lurk, or cast spells to vanquish them. There are magic potions to uncover, but also hidden traps, so mapping is advised. Treasure can be collected, and traded at the shop after each level.Fantasy

God of War: Chains of OlympusKratos makes his inaugural appearance on a portable gaming platform in the third instalment of the God of War series. Chains of Olympus serves as a prequel, unfolding its narrative a decade before the events in the original God of War. While retaining the familiar gameplay dynamics of its predecessors, subtle modifications enhance the overall experience. Kratos embarks on a journey through various levels, engaging in relentless combat against foes and formidable bosses, deciphering puzzles based on manipulating boxes, and participating in quick-time events. Throughout his odyssey, he amasses red orbs to fortify his weapons and abilities, secures Gorgon eyeballs to augment his health, and acquires Phoenix feathers to amplify his magical prowess.
The game's controls underwent refinement to harmonize with the reduced button configuration of the PSP. Dodging, for instance, now necessitates the utilization of both shoulder buttons and the analogue stick. The iconic Blades of Chaos, synonymous with the God of War series, make a return, accompanied by an array of new weapons and magical spells such as the Sun Shield, Efreet spell, and Light of Dawn.
The narrative unfolds as the Gods dispatch Kratos to the city of Attica, charging him with the defence against an encroaching Persian army. However, as Morpheus unleashes chaos, Kratos finds himself compelled to harness his formidable powers to once again rescue the world from impending doom.Action Fantasy Historical
