Earn money in XBLA game and bring it into Fable 2!

CES 2008 At the Game Developers Conference 2008, Microsoft has officially announced the launch of Gears of War 2 and has also confirmed some exciting new details on Fable 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2.

First up, Gears of Wars 2 has been confirmed for Xbox 360 this November and will delve deeper into humanity’s struggle for survival against the nightmarish Locust Horde, whilst promising to take high-definition visuals to a whole new level.

In addition, Peter Molyneux of Lionhead Studios took the stage to showcase exciting new multiplayer features for “Fable 2,” introducing dynamic cooperative play, a first to the franchise. Molyneux also announced that later this year, and before the launch of “Fable 2,” gamers can get a sneak peek at the game’s world when the “Fable 2” pub games debut as a stand-alone download on Xbox LIVE Arcade. When “Fable 2” launches, gamers will have the ability to transfer currency earned in the pub games directly to their character in “Fable 2.” This unique and first-of-its-kind experience, which can be found only on Xbox LIVE Arcade, will give the millions of “Fable” fans and gamers all around the globe the opportunity to jump into the “Fable 2” world with money already in the bank.

Tomonobu Itagaki also revealed new “Ninja Gaiden II” game-sharing features, including Ninja Cinema, which is enabled solely through Xbox LIVE, providing exciting and innovative entertainment experiences for the more than 10 million Xbox LIVE members worldwide by allowing players to record and upload their best ninja moves to Xbox LIVE.

It's already shaping up to be an exciting year for Xbox 360 gamers!
