<p>CVG have <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=268694" target="_blank">assembled a list with 10 reasons</a> why <strong>Fable 3</strong>, or "Turdle 3" how it is endearingly called by its greatest fans, will be absolutely awesome.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course the nextgen-menu is number 1:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class="text_article_body"><span class="crosshead">1. OFF THE MENU</span><br /> There'll be no endlessly dipping into menus in Fable III. Responding to fan feedback Lionhead has added a neat new feature that sees you warp directly to a hub area with a press of the start button. Here you'll be greeted by Jasper the butler and have access to several rooms including an achievement chamber and a walk-in wardrobe! But wait, there's more...<br /><br /><span class="crosshead">2. MAP'S MORE LIKE IT</span><br /> The centre-piece of your HQ is the map table. From here you can warp to any area on the map but more importantly you can monitor towns up close. This allows you to keep track of any active quests you have going as well as manage your financial investments. The end result is a far more accessible and infinitely more entertaining way to manage your game.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>And what else?</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class="text_article_body"><span class="crosshead">4. GNOME YOUR ENEMY</span><br /> Remember the potty-mouthed gargoyles from Fable II? We spent ages finding all of them, but the rewards were great. In the third game in the series you'll be hunting garden gnomes instead. Harmless enough you might think, but there's definitely something sinister about their glowing white eyes. If that's not enough to convince you of their inherent creepiness, wait till you hear them sing...</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Garden gnomes? Awesome. Did Ultima have garden gnomes? I doubt it. Another point for Fable 3.</p>

I can't wait to find out how loading an area I have to walk around in is quicker and easier than a simple menu...

I can't decide which of the two possibilities is worse: That he (the journalist) whored himself out to the publisher or that he actually and honestly believes what he wrote.

Don't get upset with him. He's just a child (if not physically, then mentally).
It's like that thing from Mad Max Thunderdome.
Oh, yeah:

I remember the epic Edge interview with Molyneux in their 200th issue where he talked about "OMG we used to have player health just because everyone did it before on the Nintendo, it's useless!" Same with menu systems and player death as well I guess.

Nevermind that there might be actual reasons why these things are consistent throughout gaming history. Like say, I don't know, a menu is easier and quicker to use than loading a fucking house to change your sword.

You see a lot more male than female skin in those models, lionhead knows the rpg audience too well.

Can't say I found one positive thing among those TEN. Possibly that thing about being king.
