Review: ‘Fable’ goes hands-free in new adventure
11:09AM EDT October 14. 2012 – As someone who reviews video games for a living — no violins, please — I can tell you critiquing a game like Fable: The Journey is no easy feat.
You see, this is the first Fable role-playing game to drop the Xbox controller in favor of hands-free control — utilizing the camera, sensors and microphone in the Kinect for Xbox 360 accessory that sits just above or below the television.
On one hand, “casual” gamers might welcome Lionhead Studios’ bold new direction. You’re now outstretching your arms to

More ‘Mass Effect 3′ DLC out Tuesday
Another batch of maps for the multiplayer component of role-playing epic Mass Effect 3 will launch on July 17.
The expansion Mass Effect 3: Earth will debut on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The download features three new Earth-based maps located in London, Vancouver and Rio De Janeiro. Along with fresh weapons, characters and upgrades, players will also have access to a tougher Platinum difficulty during multiplayer matches.

The Earth download is one of several released by studio BioWare since the game launched in March. Most recently, BioWare released Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut, which addresses the game’s controversial ending.

Our hands-on demo with the Wii U
(CNN) — Will Nintendo’s forthcoming Wii U controller breathe new life into its aging Wii console?
Hard to say at this point, but the Wii U is a solid accessory that will bring a fresh element to Nintendo gaming.
I got my hands on the redesigned device — which was first previewed a year ago — after Nintendo’s Electronic Entertainment Expo event in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Here are my first impressions:
First, the device. It is smaller than a tablet, but larger than your mobile phone. It doesn’t feel heavy in the hands, and you will really have to try hard to snap it in two (not recommended). The device is part controller and part handheld console,
