http://www.theolympian.com/758/story/720869.htmlI spent the better part of the weekend immersed in the magical, and virtual, ancient world of Albion.
Albion exists in the Xbox 360 game "Fable II," released near the end of 2008.
The world reminds me of stepping into a Thomas Kincade painting — a sunset glows orange and red, the foliage is lush and green.
And the story is enthralling.
The game is being hailed on gay gaming Web sites and blogs as the most gay, lesbian, bisecual and transgender-inclusive game ever released.
"It's kind of a no-brainer for us," "Fable" designer Peter Molyneux told The Advocate in December. "We allow you the freedom to be whoever you want to be. It seemed natural to allow you to choose your sexuality."
