One of Microsoft's big holiday-season Kinect games, Fable: The Journey, came out today. As our reviewer notes, it's not very good, because Microsoft's popular Kinect sensor often fails to properly detect the movement of the player trying to control the game.

Did you ever go to school with a kid that was way too into horses? Like, waaaaaay too into horses? I'm talking about the kind of kid who has horse posters on the wall, a horse lunchbox and a horse backpack. Because Fable: The Journey feels like a game made by and for that kid. Throw in janky, motion-controlled…

Forget the hero of Albion. Theresa—a prophetic seer who has appeared in all the previous Fable games—is not only hundreds of years old, but she likes to orchestrate things from the shadows. A character who commands true intrigue. She has visions of the future, but her motivations are always unclear. So she's a…

I'm not really anti-Kinect. It's just that a lot of Kinect games really suck. But I absolutely love Dance Central and Fruit Ninja Kinect is always a hit with my non-gaming friends when they come over for after-partying.

The dev team at Lionhead Studios have shared a behind-the-scenes look at the story of their upcoming Kinect title Fable: The Journey. While early demonstrations of the game didn't go very well, by this year's E3 Kotaku's own Stephen Totilo found the demo to be a good experience.

Xbox.com leaked the images last night, and now we've got the video of Fable Heroes, Lionhead's candy-coated four-player co-op journey through the lands of Albion.

You won't be able to use a sword in Fable: The Journey. Or a gun.

The E3 news conference demonstration for Fable: The Journey, the Kinect-enabled next entry in the role-playing franchise, was objectively speaking a flop. The series' creator himself says so, because The Journey left the impression this was a rail-shooter spinoff, and now everyone's in damage control.

The next episode of Fable will support Kinect when it releases in 2012. A demonstration of Fable: The Journey at Microsoft's E3 news conference showed players in a first-person mode, driving a carriage and attacking foes with magic, using different gestures for each spell.

This week, the E3 gaming expo gets underway in Los Angeles. Gaming's heavyweights are showing off new hardware and new games. According to one source, here's the list of titles Microsoft will be showing:

Going by a tweet from Superannuation, Microsoft has registered domains for four yet-to-be-announced games, including a brand new Fable game. The tweet lists a series of "Whois" domain records for the following sites;
