Christmas is comming up and I intend on getting a game, Im deciding between Fable, or something that both me and my sister will enjoy, now, im not going to let her decide, but It needs to be something that she will at least play, some of these are Driver 3, the GTA's Some sort of Sims game, Bloody roar and so on.
But Fable does look quite nice, well, from what I have seen.
So can someone give me a more in depth review? I have seen some reviews, but want to know what you guys think of it, because I know some of you have it.

Either that, or could you suggest some other games that a 17 year old male gamer would like? I pretty much like most games.
Exclude Halo, Halo2, Rally sport challenge 1&2

Well it would be a toss up between Fable and GTA: SA.

In that case go with Fable (being evil has never been so good).

Fable is a n excellent concept, but pulls it off in a shoddy manner. The game is very short and a some moments repetative.

Ok, I have decided it is most likely out of Halo 2 or Fable unless something better is named.
Question, is Halo 2 co-op in single player?

I'm a 17 year old male X-Box gamer myself (I think) and I would recomend Fable although it is quite easy to complete. However my 14 sister enjoyed it herself although you can't be a female character.

No, actually, single player is death-match only.

Quite sure you can co-op in split-screen, if that's what you meant.

My friend has Fable, and MAN is it cool. Yeah, it's shorter than I wanted, but wow, the atmosphere and voice acting and music is SO top notch. Worth a week or two rental for sure! The quests are fun, and has neat RPG elements as well--you can woo chicks to marry you even. You can sneak and steal things and can grow up to be good or evil, depending on how you act and what you did as you live.

Great game!

Very fun the first time through but after that it becomes very shallow. It is an awesome rental but its not worth buying in my opinion. You would get bored in less than a month.
