WorthPlaying’s Top 20 Games of 2005, Part One

WorthPlaying has published the first half of their new “Top 20 Games of 2005” feature, with Fable: The Lost Chapters, Dungeon Siege II, and Guild Wars all making the list. A snip about Fable: The Lost Chapters:

When all is said and done, I cannot help but gush about Fable: The Lost Chapters. Its setbacks are negligible in the face of everything the game does right. It has everything I look for in an RPG – a quality story, superb visuals, excellent music, a hint of humor that doesn’t overstay its welcome, and above all else, a sense of immersion that sweeps me away to another world. It is single-player experiences such as this one that drive my passion for massively multiplayer games, simply because of the cravings I get to occupy my time in a virtual reality as engaging as Albion. To anyone who has played the Xbox version but has a powerful PC rig as well, I say grab this game and relive everything you loved and more. To anyone who doesn’t own an Xbox but loves a well-wrought story, I say buy this as soon as you possibly can. Fable: The Lost Chapters is a shining example of why Peter Molyneaux and Lionhead studios are so legendary in the industry.
