Fable: Anniversary

Fable: Anniversary lacks many of the features we've come to expect in modern RPGs--or even from the Fable franchise itself--and the passage of time dulls what few punches the game can deliver. The only value now lies in showing players who came to the franchise late the beginnings of this ongoing tale. It still works from a technical point of view, and the new graphics are nice, but only the combat remains rewarding--the one element not ravaged by these past 10 years. What hurts Anniversary most of all, though, is coming to the realization that when Fable first came out, it was very good. Now, it's borderline irrelevant. Oh, if only Peter Molyneux were still around...
