Fable 2 Update on Gameplayer
Gameplayer has gone live with a fresh look at innovative Xbox 360 exclusive Fable 2. It includes some disturbing information regarding the activities you will be able to do in the game. "In a masochistic moment we saw Molyneux get his henchman to kill his husband (he was playing as a woman) right in front of their five-year-old child, before taking off on his merry way. He mentioned that left on his own, his son would end up in an orphanage, which was an interesting twist. For all its hard-arse-ness, GTA IV has nothing on that one: watch the wowsers arch up!"

2008 Will Be a Landmark Year for 360, Says Kim
At an event showcasing upcoming first-party releases, corporate VP of Microsoft Game Studios Shane Kim said that 2008 would be an even better year for the Xbox 360. "What we're really trying to communicate is that this is going to be another landmark year for Xbox 360," Kim told GamesIndustry.biz. "Mainly because we are really focused on the strategy of tremendous exclusive content. Titles like Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Banjo, et cetera. as well as the continuing leadership we have in the online space with Xbox Live." When asked to clarify whether the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3 was winning in Europe, Kim said that it was a "horse race no matter what." "I understand that Sony has declared leadership already. We'll let the data speak for itself," he replied.

Sony: Go Ahead And Buy An XBOX "Their Support Isn't Much Better"
The Consumerist reports: ''Reader Adrian's PS3 is broken and since the console was a gift that didn't come with a receipt, Sony is denying warranty coverage. Where it gets tricky is that there's a "manufactured on" sticker on the back of the machine indicating that it is clearly less than a year old — meaning that there's no possible way it could be out of warranty coverage. Adrian tried explaining this concept to Sony, but they weren't interested. No receipt. No warranty. When Adrian threatened to switch to XBOX, Sony's only answer was that "their support wasn't much better."

GamesRadar: Shane Kim on Xbox 360 in 2008 & Beyond
Shane Kim talks to GameRadar about Xbox 360's big year ahead. GameRadar:"GR: Can you tell us anything about the rumoured motion controller that Microsoft may or may not be working on? SK: Well, the stock answer is that we don't comment on rumours and speculation. But I will say, look, we have a lot of research and development going on all over the place, in Live and in Hardware. And we have a ton of success in the accessory business - and that's probably a story that doesn't get told enough. From a commercial perspective and also in terms of critical acclaim. We're going to continue to look at new ways we can introduce different things - the third parties are doing this as well with the music controllers. So there's opportunities for us there too. We're an R and D company at heart."

Itagaki: No More Ninja Gaiden After Part II
In an interview with Kotaku earlier today Team Ninja's Tomonobu Itagaki said that he doesn't plan on making any more Ninja Gaiden games for any platforms following the release of Ninja Gaiden II for the Xbox 360. "Personally I think we were able to create the definitive 3D game in this series so I'm not planing on making any other games in the series," Itagaki said through a translator. "So I hope fans treat this as a swan song for the franchise. "I think we were able to achieve everything we wanted with this game so anything else would be extraneous." When asked if he plans on making a "swan song" Ninja Gaiden title for the PlayStation 3, Itagaki replied " that would be ridiculous."
