Gamers agree: Fallout 3 > Fable 2.

Gamers agree: Fallout 3 > Fable 2.

We didn’t like Fable 2, and as far as RPGs are concerned, we totally thought Fallout 3 trumped Fable 2 in every possible way.

We still write about World of Warcraft?

The World of Warcraft (WoW) highway is riddled with potholes. They’re not exceptionally big, but they’re not comfortable to drive through, either.
