E3 2014 has officially come to a close – sad face – but we’ve got something for you, our GameSpot friends. Despite the chaos of the show floor, we were able to collect tons of awesome E3 goodies, and we’ve put all of it together into awesome swag bags which 3 lucky winners* will get […]

The Fable games have always let you be good or evil (or somewhere in between), and while your actions in those games affected your appearance, the world’s appearance, and how characters reacted to your presence, there was no great difference in how the game played when choosing one direction of the moral compass over another.

I have watched the films Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 so many times that I can’t hear the music they feature without imagining the visuals that accompany them.
