Gamers with a tablet can try out additional content via Smart Glass and I did like being able to zoom in and out of a map of Albion – the fantasy realm where the game is set – on my iPad, while also playing on the TV. It also includes additional content that was released later including 'The Lost Chapters'. There are some changes, including the ability to save your progress at any time and a slicker user interface, which means less distractions. It looks great and I struggle now to imagine how I played the original on a 22 inch analogue set – although it didn't seem to be a problem at the time. The biggest-selling point for the anniversary edition is that it has been graphically updated for high definition, as most gamers now have large, flat screen televisions. (This possibly is as much the reason for the R18 rating, as the violence.) At the time I gave it 4 1/2 stars and what stood out for me the most was the multitude of choices and outcomes – you can become hero or villain – along with the earthy, adult humour. Once I got over another vertigo-like feeling of trying to work out where those 10 years went, I checked out my review of Fable from October 2004. Yes, Fable, the fantasy role-playing game for Xbox, is now 10 years old and this is the anniversary edition. FABLE: Still a great game after ten years.
