If you thought Microsoft were going to stop with Bionic Commando Rearmed on Xbox LIVE Arcade next week, you're sadly mistaken. They've announced that they will also be dropping Fable II Pub Games on XBLA for 800 Microsoft points.
Fable II Pub Games is exactly what it sounds like -- a bunch of casino-style pub games that will allow players to start earning money that can be used when Fable II is released this October. Games include "Fortune's Tower," "Keystone," and "Spinnerbox."
If you're not up for spending 800 MS Points on Fable II Pub Games, simply pre-order the game at select retailers to receive a free download code. I was able to pick one up at my local GameStop yesterday, but the code won't be valid until next week.
So for those looking forward to Fable II, are you so adamantly against pre-orders that you'll spend 800 MS Points on Fable II Pub Games instead? Because that's just silly.

Depends where you pre-order. Most GameStops won't give you any hassle. Plus, it's five dollars, which is half price of the XBLA game. Even if you never want back to purchase the game, it's a deal.
Having been burned on Fable I after buying it sight-unseen and being extremely let down, I'm adamantly against giving Lionhead any more of my money until I get some reliable reviews on their future endeavors.
I can't imagine this game is really worth the hassle. Plus you'd likely burn more than the $5 in gas pulling a stunt like that anyway.
Anyways, I thought about this and ultimately decided I would rather start with a clean slate in Fable 2. Why alter the game experience before I even have the game? Still picking up Fable 2 shortly after release for sure though.
