There's been a lot of discussion of the relative qualities of Fable 2 and Fallout 3. Both have been getting good reviews. Fallout 3 may have a slight edge in analytics due to Molyneux's historic cycle of over-hyping people's expectations, but both games all got solid reviews in the press.
So, which do you think you'll play first?
I'm thinking I'll be playing Fable 2 first. I have greatly enjoyed the previous efforts of Bethesda, to the point of having even purchased the collector's edition of Oblivion. I've had my fun, that's for sure, but those open-ended days also coincided with a much quieter time of life. Now I'm squeezed for time and always feeling like I’m under pressure.
