Opening up the month is the anticipated Fable Anniversary , a re-imagining of the hit RPG originally released on the Xbox nearly ten years ago. It arrives February 4th for the Xbox 360. On the 5th, internet "let's play" sensation Outlast will be available on the PS4. Later in the month, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII makes its way to the PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 11th. Rayman Legends jumps into the next-gen fray on the 18th, giving some much-needed platformer action to the PS4 and Xbox One. The Wii U gets its own taste of more platformer goodness on the 21st, when Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze swings into action. Finally, the long-awaited Thief reboot finds its way to all major platforms after nearly a decade of abse To get a full sense of just how much time has passed without any update, we have to go all the way back to E3 2011, where the studio's Jurassic Park adaptation was on display. While dinosaurs were the main attraction, the developer did adorn their booth with a poster for their upcoming King's Quest reboot , although they weren't speaking on specifics (since that project doesn't seem to be progressing, we no know w Oftentimes, the other concern, when discussing ported games, is the controls. Lionhead claimed that this was their number one priority in building the PC version of the game. They completely reconfigured the control system for the PC - taking advantage of key things like the mouse wheel (which is used to switch between magic, guns, and swords, similar to how it is used in shooters to switch weapons). The game controls well, and even for a native Xbox player I found it easy to pick up and play. Of course, the game also supports gamepads, and using the 360 controller offered a equivalent experience to playing on the X It looks like there's a lot more to look forward to this month, with more releases on the PS4 and Xbox One. Although it won't be until March that the next-gen titles start pouring in, February should have many releases to keep gamers occupied. Ranters, what are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments section below!

Several of the rumored games did end up being showcased at the annual Los Angeles event, but were our hopes and anticipation justif Winter's still going on strong - for most of us, anyway - but the gaming release lull is slowly coming to an end! While most February releases are still geared towards the previous generation, there are a few next-gen games that should start the ball rolling for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Let's take a look at what February has to of According to Molyneux, this Albion will still be reeling (or rejoicing) from the player’s previous actions in Fable 3 . The developer even added that [https://Fablelegendary.com/ fable secrets|https://fablelegendary.com/]: The Journey will actually take specific data from your Fable 3 save file and implement it in the world of The Journ Yet despite that success, there have still been no substantial announcements on what the studio has planned for Bill Willingham's comic series. If a cryptic tweet from Telltale's Twitter account is any indication, that may be about to cha Since, contrary to popular opinion after the Microsoft press conference, players will actually be able to explore a large chunk of Albion in Fable: The Journey , we thought it important to report-on the context for this advent Now, Fable 3 might not be anywhere close to Crysis 2 , but the PC version does have a massive graphical overhaul - when compared to the Xbox 360 version. Aside from offering a greater resolution, the PC version also supports 3D. Many might argue that 3D is an unnecessary gimmick - but there's no denying it's a very pretty one. While the term, "eye-popping" might be overused - the 3D in the PC version literally makes the game's graphics pop, which adds an extra layer of icing to the c Unless Telltale Games is preparing to announce and adaptation of Allen Ginsberg's life, we'd bet that an update on Fables is imminent. The only question remains: just how much progress has the studio made, and how big an influence will The Walking Dead 's success have? The developers are certainly not the type to twist other games to capitalize on another's success, but there's no reason the art style or advertising couldn't be tied into their most successful game e

Another thing that worked against MS was the decision to demo Call of Duty: Black Ops , a multi-platform game for a longer period of time than most of their other showcases.
