(We apologize that we don't have a new episode this week. However, we'd like to highlight an older episode we very much enjoyed! Thanks for listening.) This week’s 5-Minute-Review game is Fable: The Lost Chapters. Developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Microsoft, this Xbox/PC game is a fantasy action RPG with an large, bustling world to explore, an intutive leveling system, engaging combat and a satisfying story. The game features an unique morality and infamy system: your character's behavior and choices changes the world around you. If you act heroically, NPCs will cheer for you and give you gifts and praise. If you commit evil, NPCs will boo and jeer or scream and run away from your terrifying appearance. While short, the story really makes you feel like a hero (or villian). Join in on our fun adventure for this week's Main Quest, as Justin and Theo try to guess a game's title based on the description on the back of the box. Can you beat their scores?
