Microsoft today revealed that Xbox 360 titles Fable II and Halo Wars will both be joining the consoles 'Classic Collection' of games. The 360's Classic Collection is a selection of popular titles all made available at a reduced £19.99 price point and both 2008's Fable II and 09's Halo Wars will now be joining the cut-rate fray.
The new Classic Collection version of Lionhead Studios Fable II offers gamers more for their money, as the new cheaper version comes with additional content. Both Knothole Island and the See The Future add-ons are now included, both of which were previously available only as downloadable content (DLC).
Halo Wars, from now defunct developer Ensemble Studios, also includes some additional goodies. Gamers who pick up the new classic version will find a download card which unlocks bonus content, namely the Strategic Options Pack and the Historical Battle Map Pack.
The Classic Collection versions of both Fable II and Halo Wars are available in stores now. However if you have yet to experience the charm of either titles, don't go rushing to your nearest game store just yet. As despite their attractive new £19.99 price-point the original release copies of the game have been available for a reduced cost for some time. Halo Wars is currently available on Play.com for as little as £14.99, five pounds cheaper than Microsoft's new offering. Fable II offers even more of a saving with Play.com offering it from just £10.
So do you go for the low-priced offering available from various online retailers, or choose Microsoft's new Classic offerings which come with DLC included for free.
