If there's one thing the games industry needs, it's more collector's editions, and far be it from Fable III to leave us wanting. Lionhead has today revealed the contents and pricing for its collector's edition, as well as confirmation of a PC release.
The collector's edition costs $79.99 and will run alongside an obligatory standard edition. The PC version costs $49.99 and will be available as a retail disc or as a Windows LIVE download, because Microsoft is still persisting with that turgid bollocks.

- Exclusive in-game region unlocked
- A new dog breed
- A new outfit
- A deck of Fable III playing cards
- Guild Seal Coin a good and evil side to help players indecisive players take action

The fatal flaw of Kinect games is that they are built on a foundation of lies.

One of the hardest things for me to understand is whenever someone belittles a "casual" game (whatever that may be to them) by claiming it's either unoriginal or lacks any sort of cutting-edge quality. I find this funny, beca...
