@LtSarge I haven't played Fable 2 or 3 in years, so can't say how well they hold up today, but 2 was one of my favourite games on the 360. I really loved it. it's thoroughly charming and the music is gorgeous. It was also a big deal for me because it was the first game I played that allowed same-sex romance. It's a lot more open than the first game, with larger areas, more features, more detailed gameplay, and more player choice.
Fable 3 was a bit controversial at the time because only 2/3 the game is a traditional Fable RPG, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
Something about Fable Anniversary feels off, and it's clearly made on a shoestring budget. I do like that the backwards compatibility cleans up the image nicely thanks to the increased resolution, inbuilt texture filtering, and it also benefits from FPS boost.
I am currently playing Paper Mario: The Origami King on Switch. It’s really good so far. I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy the battle system, but so far I am. The game makes me laugh too.
@Bentleyma I loved The Origami King. So many people sleep on it because it's not an RPG, but it also improves on the older games in a variety of ways. And the game's story is shockingly emotional. There are a few things holding it back, but, IMO, it's a superb title nonetheless.
@Ralizah I do miss the RPG elements, but I’m not going to shoot down a game because it’s not something it’s not trying to be. The most important thing is they’ve kept the humour and the gameplay is fun… oh and it looks fantastic too.
@Bentleyma Despite not being much of a Mario fan, I adored The Origami King, and reckoned it was one of the most wholesome, charming and yet also surprising games I'd ever played. Funny as heck, beautiful to look at, and I didn't even mind screwing up certain battles. Really glad you're enjoying it!

Think I’m near the end of Arkham Origins. Fought Bane and ‘locked up’ Joker because that will totally last long. Troy Baker just sounds wrong. Like a kinda rubbish impersonation of Mark Hamill. Which is a shame, because some of the comics accurate scenes of The Joker’s past were brilliant, if only they were done with Hamill instead. Still enjoying the game though, really liked the more linear hotel section. The big electric glove things are a good addition too.
@nessisonett That whole section certainly feels like an ending, doesn't it? And I completely agree with you regarding the lack of Mark Hamill. I think Arkham Origins delivers the best representation of the Joker's character out of the entire series, so it's borderline criminal that he's lacking his best voice.

The problem with getting a Switch with a lot of games is that I’m finding it hard to stick to one game at a time! I just started Bravely Default II. It’s nice to be playing an old school JRPG. I like the general look of the game, but the characters look a bit off.
Other than that I can’t really (Bravely De)fault it.
Started playing Fez on 360. Very impressed by the game so far! I've apparently been playing it for an hour now, which didn't feel like it at all. It's very easy to get absorbed into the game and be in constant awe as you're playing it. It did feel a bit overwhelming at first since there are so many different paths you can take, but I think I'm just going to focus on one thing at a time and just enjoy the experience. It's a very relaxing game, it kinda gives off Terraria vibes for me. Soothing music, nice-looking environments and so on. This is definitely something I need to play now in between my playthroughs of Mass Effect Andromeda and Steins;Gate 0.
Halo 2 on my Series X. It was a struggle making it through Halo CE recently as it has dated very poorly for me, but so far Halo 2 is as great as remember it being way back on the original Xbox. It also looks great.

My Code Masters Evercade cartridge just arrived… Sensible Soccer, Pete Sampras Tennis, Cannon Fodder and Mega-lo-mania could be the reason for me to actually hook this thing up!
