fable 2 or far cry 2?

I just recently got Silent hill, and I can only afford 1 more game this month, so I've decided to go with Fable 2. The first fable wasnt anything like what it was supposed to be like, although it was still fun. Fable 2 is supposed to be what Peter M. wanted fable 1 to be like. Plus you can have children in the game, and use condoms lol.

While i loved farcry on the PC. i think fallout 3 would make a much more interesting shooter, compared to farcry 2. Mostly for the replay value and the very long single player experience it'll have, plus it has a nuke-gun.

I think that fable on the xbox is overrated. The presentation of the game is solid, as well as the gameplay. But the overall story was totally flat and the dialogue was written by a five year old; it was too simple. I hope Fable II fixes this. I read that the game is going to be fully explorable dynamic unlike the first where you travelled piece by piece.

Far Cry was great. But since Crytek did not develop, nobody knows for sure how good the game is going to be.

I reccomend you open a gamefly account. October is going to be the best month for video games this year. I will get the chance to play all of them "Dead Space, Far Cry 2, Fable II, Midnight Club; LA, Fallout 3, etc, for only 23 bucks a month.

As to your original question, it depends on what genre you like best.

They said fable II will have 100 hours of gameplay if all side quests are completed.

Far Cry 2 will have multiplayer so it might have a lasting appeal.
