Lionhead Studios and Microsoft Game Studios teamed up to release Fable for the Xbox in September of 2004. Since Lionhead’s previous game, Black & White, was a game that I didn’t like very much, and since I don’t even own an Xbox, the release of Fable excited me not at all. But now Lionhead and Microsoft are planning to release Fable: The Lost Chapters, essentially a stand-alone expansion pack for Fable, and they’re going to release it for the Xbox and the PC.

In other words, this is sort of a complicated preview. Xbox owners already know about Fable, and they’re probably only interested in the new content, to see if there’s enough there to make it worthwhile to purchase the expansion pack. PC owners, on the other hand, might not know anything about the game, and so they’re probably more curious about the mechanics and the storyline of the game, and whether it was ported in an effective way to the PC.
