Fable 2 vs Vanquish
Fable 2
Fable 2 is the sequel to the incredibly popular Fable RPG series set in the land of Albion. Offering more of the same and yet with some nice improvements such as getting a pet dog, the game is more immersive than ever. Craft your own narrative as you forge your own path as a fighter, a gunslinger or a mage. You can even build relationships with various NPCs, fall in love and start your own family. And of course, the franchise's hallmark feature - every action you make will have a consequence... some of which can be pretty funny.Fable 2 is a brilliant follow-up to the original game and does the franchise justice. However, the game is somehow not available for PC gamers unlike the previous game, and this can come as a disappointment for many fans. That said, if you got an Xbox, you might want to get this game.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
