Didn't they review Sudeki in the issue before?
Hmmm the poster comes back with this typed out of the mag..................
"OK I'm back everyone, 4 hours of sleep and I'm ready 2 type out some stuff from the Mag. I know what everyone wants 2 hear and that is Fables Review! I'm not going 2 type out the full review hear until I get the green light 2 do so and get some energy. I've seen people banned from posting stuff from magazines and Insider Stuff. On page 85 you will find... "The Verdict" 4 Fable!
THE VERDICT
Graphics This is how a game built from the ground up should look.
What else can I say? Truly breathtaking, The new definition of Lush graphics.
Immersion The closest thing to a life simulator you will find on Xbox.
You can do just about anything in this open ended adventure. Almost endless possibilities of interaction with NPC.
Sound Dolby 5.1 Every character has a voice. Settings a new standard in
"amount of dialogue you can cram into one game" Category. Musical scores weave in and out threw out your adventure. Brilliant.
Design Unlike other RPG's Everything in Fable is hand placed NO Random Environments,
No random ANYTHING! Everything about Fables Design is near FLAWLESS

Sorry mods if this is not allowed to be posted i'll remove it.

I think they did review Sudeki last issue...So what's going on?
Well Gamefaqs is going crazy with this Fable score. I for one will take it with a grain of salt. First of all, the grammar of the Verdict points seems very suspicous. And if the review is real, then you have to remember it's from OXM who want to hype this game as much as they can considering it's one of MS's big games this fall.

This is just too funny.
From every preview we've gotten over the past month or so, they game is coming together quite well and I wouldn't be surprised to see it get alot of 9+ scores. Who cares about this one review, especially since it's from a Xbox fan mag? Does OXM hold some special position that I'm not aware of? I mean, I know it comes with the demo, which is great, but so does OPM and they're easily one of the worst offenders when it comes to score pumping.

The difference is, OXM has hardly, if ever, score pumped. I'm sure there's some examples of some weird scores (as is this case with EVERY mag/site) but I've found them to be pretty fair usually. And maybe peeps would be interested being as though it would have been the first Fable review?
The real question is, why would YOU be interested?

Sept 19th, I will be rebuying an Xbox just for this game (and Halo 2).
I always fall into these kinds of things. I had to get and N64 just for Zelda, a DC just for RE: Code Veronica, and the Xbox (first time) just for Morrowind.
Games with high 9's in OXM, you are talking Halo, Splinter Cell and KOTOR, no it wouldnt be definitive, but it would be damn good.
Im torn though, i mean
...I could understand spelling errors, i always make a few copying from type to screen but thats an error you'd have to be a member of Gamefaqs to make.
but it is August 20th, and the mag is supposed to be coming out on the 24th, so i cant believe no one has the mag yet.

Well, someone typed up that PC Gamer Doom 3 review and made TONS of errors during the transfer. When someone is keying in text, I suppose it isn't too difficult to make a mistake if you are rushing through it.
Of course, in this case, there are some serious issues with the grammar as well. I believe it is fake...

No.
To appease my Sony gods, I'm going to buy a new Xbox (so Microsoft loses money), and used copies of all my games, so M$ gets no money from me. (although a used Fable might be tough to get for the first several months - so maybe I'll have to steal it.)
AND
I'll be buying every single Sony published game (GT4, HSG:4, Sly 2, R&C 3, Jak 3, GT4, Killzone, EyeToy: Antigrav, and whatever else it out there).

That sad part is that I don't believe for one nanosecond that you're kidding
Lord Error
Insane For Sony
Sounds fakey in that the writing is poor (not only spelling, but writing), but I have to say that some of the phrases, although awkward, sound straight out of OXM vocabulary... "Built from Ground Up" is an example.

And you know you're not kidding.
It's fake... not because of the score or the writings, but because I just got my September OXM (the one with Conker on the cover) yesterday. October's OXM is still at least 3 weeks away.
Plus, like someone mentioned, one of the other mags has the exclusive. XBN, I'm betting.
That being said, from all the previews I have seen, I would be shocked if Fable got anything less than a 95%.
