New Halo 3 Achievements and Fable 2

So, Halo 3's got some new Achievements that just went out a couple days ago and I think the way that they keep adding content and motivation to a console game is great. Usually, when you buy a console game, you pay your 60 bucks and don't expect anything else beyond that. It's nice to get something out or your $50/year Xbox Live subscription beyond the ability to play online, which in this day and age is taken for granted. While I understand that this is more of a hook to get people to buy the Legendary Map Pack than anything else, it's a good one and I'm thrilled that Bungie is still putting a great deal of effort into their game a full year after its initial release.

In other news, Fable 2 went gold sometime in the last few days. While the first one was a disappointment, it was by no means bad. It was over-hyped and alot of the features Lionhead wanted were cut before the finished product went out the door, so the game was much less ground-breaking than was promised, but it was still good. Thankfully, the hype train this time around has been toned down a bit and while I still don't think they're really pushing the limits on anything, I think it will at least be a solid successor to the first installment of the series, which is quite enough for me.
