Published by Microsoft Studios and developed by Lionhead Studios, Fable: The Journey plunges the gamers into an epic struggle as they use magic to defeat enemies. Gamers will get the chance to take on the avatar of Gabriel and come to the aid of the ailing and mysterious Theresa who has appeared in all previous games in the franchise. Gabriel is then plunged into an action-packed adventure full of dangerous enemies and chase sequences. Journeying through dangerous paths with a horse, gamers will learn to master magic as a deadly weapon, defend themselves in combat and solve puzzles on their personal journey to becoming a hero through the beautifully imagined world of Albion.
Players can use Kinect to do anything from casting spells with one hand to blocking incoming attacks and controlling the reins of their horse as it gallops through stunning Albion. The horse itself is a character and grooming and looking after the horse properly wins the gamer points.

To cast magic by using their hands to perform certain gestures, players can enter a spell crafting mode, which allows drawing items with their hands and then using them as spells. This gives the players the ability to create shields, spears and hammers in order to defeat enemies. Players can also create fishing rods and telescopes, which can then be used in the game to fish or try their hands at some amateur astronomy. The game is aimed at the hardcore audience who have been looking forward to a serious game that would harness the power of the Kinect, as opposed to the family oriented game that the platform has become popular for.
