E3 2008: Microsoft Mistwalkerless Round-up

Well, here it is. The last big publisher that showed off RPGs at this year's E3. Check out the coverage below.

Fable II (Xbox 360)


Developed by Lionhead Studios
Published by Microsoft
Available October 2008


Too Human (Xbox 360)


Developed by Silicon Knights
Published by Microsoft
Available August 12, 2008

The above developer walkthrough for Fable II is only part 1 of 3. I thought it would give you a good feel for it, and if you were interested you could check the rest out on GameTrailers.

Again, my wariness with Western RPGs prevents me from being overly excited about either of these games, but who knows? Fable II definitely looks like it has potential, and Too Human might be alright for a hack-and-slash fest. Only time will tell.

But my big question for Microsoft is, where the hell is my Mistwalker?!

That is all.

E3 2008: Too Human Demo is Live

Well, here we are, standing on the edge of E3 2008. The Microsoft press conference kicks off in a few hours. However, if you're bored, you may be interested to know that the Too Human demo is now available on Xbox Live.

Published by Microsoft and developed by Silicon Knights, Too Human is a hack-and-slash action-RPG set to release exclusively on Xbox 360 next month. For those of you who have followed this game at all, you know it is ripe with controversy due largely to Silicon Knights' Dennis Dyack who just can't seem to keep his mouth shut.

I'm not interested in getting into the $#!+storm surrounding Silicon Knights, but the game actually looks not bad if you like hack-and-slash type games.

The demo weighs in at a hefty 1.09 GB, so start your download sooner than later. You might just get to give it a spin before the press conference kicks off at 10:30am PDT.
