Fable is like a really good version of Zelda. Hopefully the Bristolian accents won't be so prevalent. I have watched all the dev videos on Eurogamer thus far and it does look proper fantastic. Shame about the guy with the odd beard though - he is very David Brent.

Lionhead and Microsoft have announced more details about the Xbox Live Arcade titles that are based around the Fable 2 universe. The games are Keystone, Spinnerbox and Fortune’s Tower, and the price will be 800p. Images and information can be found here.

Microsoft press release:

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios today announced that consumers who pre-order a copy of the Xbox 360™ exclusive, “Fable II,” at participating retailers worldwide, will be given free access to download the “Fable II” Pub Games when they are released this August. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade, fans can transfer the gold earned in these casino-style mini-games to the world of “Fable II,” when the game is available later this year.

The final names of the Xbox LIVE Arcade “Fable II” Pub Games (which will be available as one download) are: “Keystone,” which is a combination of Craps and Roulette, “Spinnerbox,” which is an updated take on slot machines, and “Fortune’s Tower,” which is a press your luck style of game. The download will also include a Shell, which is a tutorial of all three games.

Now and for the first time ever, “Fable II” fans can get a head start on their virtual experience, starting their long awaited quest through this sequel with gold in the bank and the ability to purchase items right off the bat, such as weapons, clothing, houses, dog tricks and more - an experience that can only be found on Xbox LIVE Arcade. The “Fable II” Pub Games will also be available for purchase over Xbox LIVE in August for those that do not pre-order “Fable II” for 800MS points.

Lionhead and Microsoft Game Studios also announced details of a limited collector’s edition of “Fable II” available for pre-order at retailers worldwide, for a suggested price of $79.99 USD. The limited collector’s edition includes: a bonus disc with a new behind-the-scenes making of video, collectible Hobbe figure, a LIVE trial card and additional in-game content (an Xbox LIVE account is required to access the limited collector’s edition bonus in-game content). The “Fable II” standard addition is also available for pre-order at a suggested retail price of $59.99. “Keystone,” “Spinnerbox” and “Fortune’s Tower” will also be embedded as part of the full retail copy of “Fable II” (limited collector’s and standard editions).

So, can you only play those games if you pay the 800MSpoints for them? There's still going to be gambling in the full game anyway, right?

The 3 pub games are in the game as games you can play at the pubs. The XBLA versions of the games can be played like standard XBLA games and have, I believe, addition tournaments that aren't in the version embedded in the game. The XBLA version of the games can be obtained by buying them from Marketplace or as a preorder bonus. The embedded versions of the games are in every copy of F2.

You get the games for free if you pre-order.

That way if you pre-order you can make some cash and weapons etc before you get the game. Let's you start with GOLD ... mmm sweet gold.

Do I have to pre-order from anywhere specific?

Don't you have to pre-order the super expensive version though?

But I'm not sure I'd really want to do that, even if I was interested in these minigames...

I like the initial stages of an RPG, where you're saving up your money with an eye to getting that awesome looking sword you've seen in a shop. When you gan go in and buy their entire stock with a fraction of your weath (which you can do in some poorly-balanced RPGs), it doesn't feel as special.

As far as I'm aware you only have to pre-order any version of the game. LE or normal.

No matter where you pre-order from you will get access to the games.

I guess it is up to the person if they want extra gold, weapons etc before they start the game.
