    Holy cow, it's actually free? With no commitment or anything?

    I've never really tried a Fable game, so I couldn't pass this up. Free is free.

    Even though I already have the game, I wouldn't mind having the digital version and trading in my physical copy. I still haven't played through the DLC, which I got on sale a week or two ago.

    edit: Looks like it might just be Episode I of Fable II, according to tweets that Microsoft reps are making...according to people at cheapassgamer.

    Fable 2 is great fun, you old women - and wow, for free - if you have not already played it, do it. I really enjoyed it!

    Holy poo, I've not played the DLC either.

    Too much other stuff right now.

    It said "Full Game" on the marketplace. I better not be downloading 7 gigs for just one episode.

    Edit: And viewing it on the console Marketplace, it says "already purchased", so I'm pretty sure it's the whole thing.

    I already own it but I'll pick up the full version for free just in case I lose my disc or loan it to someone or decide to sell it or, well, anything really. Just so there's a record that I own it. Because who knows how long it will be free instead of $30.

    I say everyone should download it, even if you already have a disc copy (you could sell it!).

    Even if you don't like the game, you can just delete it, and it'll remain free forever in your Gamertag should you choose to download it again.

    Seriously, unless you're some sort of amputee, it doesn't take much effort to mouse over, click that link, and then another one to download it.

    Reminds me of that Simpsons episode with Tony Hawk.

    Yeah, got "in b4 da lock" so to speak. I'm assuming that this is a mistake and the game will be stricken from my hard drive at some point.

    Thanks for the find.

    No, pretty sure Tim was playing local co-op with his daughter. No patch needed for that!

    I just beat Lara Croft. This is easily the best game on XBLA. Probably one of the best games ever made??

    So now I'm wondering, are any of the Tomb Raider games anywhere near this good? Should I be playing them?!

    Not really? I own Legend, Underworld, and Anniversary, and they're fun games, just not anything special. Basic shooting, basic platforming.

    I voted for perfect dark, I did think it would win but I'm not really suprised the online fps won. Onslaught mode is worth it if u have people to play with.

    Have you got a good link for some info on Costume Quest? not read much about it
