Microsoft has just announced that they’re resurrecting their Xbox 360-event, which was last held in 2006 in Barcelona, Spain. This year’s expo will take place in San Francisco, CA and will happen on February 11th at the Terra Event Center.
When gamers think of videogame expos, they think of huge events like E3 or GDC, which lasts for days and days. X10, which is what this Microsoft-only event is called, will only lasts for four-hours. However, even with the short time-span, Microsoft is showing off a number of notable games including: Alan Wake, Fable III, Halo: Reach, Crackdown 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Final Fantasy XIII and more titles. Not only that, but we should be getting more information on the highly-anticipated — controllerless — motion peripheral, Project Natal.
Even though with the event lasting four hours, a lot of news should be coming out of it. The press in attendance will get a personal look at each of these games and interact at a more personal level, which means questions will be asked and answers will be answered. Some of which will be juicy tidbits.

It has been heavily rumored that the third installment of the role-playing game Fable, would have ‘Project Natal‘ support. According to the co-founder of Gamesbrief Nicholas Lovell, Peter Molyneux has confirmed it’ll take advantage of the body-motion accessory. “Fable 3 will have Natal support,” Lovell tweeted.
Exactly how this will work is still unknown, but it shouldn’t come to a surprise to anyone. We already know Molyneux is a big fan of the new technology. If you remember correctly, during Microsoft’s E3 press briefing, Molyneux was a presenter for Natal. At the same time, Molyneux introduced his new ambitious game tentatively called Milo, which took full advantage of Natal.
I have a hard time believing that Fable III will require Project Natal and I still think it’ll use a controller. I think if you want to either ‘enhance’ Fable, than you would be require to own Project Natal. But I don’t think it will be a ‘major’ factor to enjoy the anticipated RPG.
It should be noted that Fable III is expected to come out sometime at the end of 2010; meaning Natal should also make a 2010 launch.

Microsoft held their own press conference during Gamescom to counter Sony’s big announcements. Peter Molyneux, boss over at Lionhead Studios, took the stage and revealed something great. According to him, the UK based company is already underway developing Fable III for the Xbox 360. Molyneux promises the third installment will be about choice, and the consequences that surround each one made
He went on to tease the audience that there is something wrong with RPGs today and its been an issue ever since the very first title was released in the popular genre. From the sounds of it, he wants to forever change that problem, however, he did not specify exactly what he meant.
After the jump, check out more details about Fable III. (more…)

British television presenter Jonathan Ross, made a goof on his twitter about how he was asked to do some voice work for the next Fable game. That’s right’s, I said next Fable game…as in Fable III. Here is what he wrote:
“Goodnight all. Must go to bed. Got asked to do voice in Fable 3 tonight.”
Oh no, that was a little to much information that he just shared to the internets. Later, Ross wrote that he needs to “apologize to Peter Molyneux.” Yeah you do “Wossy!”
Now, could this mean that Molyneux might unveil the next installment at GDC in San Francisco later this month? Maybe, maybe not — but I would say the chances are a little bit higher now.
