It started innocently enough, which is appropriate given the the innocent faces featured in Fable Heroes. Tim Timmins, who worked as a scripter on all of the previous Fable titles, and a handful of his co-workers said to each other “Let’s make a Fable game!” There was no Molyneux-esque bravado about crafting the greatest RPG of all time. Instead, Timmins and company were content with just making a game of some sort in the franchise they knew best. The next thing they knew, they were set up in their own offices with more than a dozen staff members working under them on Lionhead Studios’ first XBLA title.

“Every year at Lionhead we have a Creative Day where everyone gets together and can make whatever they like,” Timmins explained to Xbox 360 Achievements. “It can be a game, a new piece of tech, it can be a tool, it can be a PowerPoint presentation of the greatest thing ever made… We decided to make a game.”

Lionhead Studios has revealed another character in the Fable Heroes roster. The newest hero to be dolled up is Maze, the old wizard you may remember from the first Fable game. His Will powers are not lost in doll form: his combat is spell-based, including such spells as Lightning and Force Push. Maze will join the seven other previously announced heroes, including Lucien Fairfax, when this four-player hack-and-slash releases May 2, 2012 for 800MSP. There are still more characters to be revealed, so keep an eye on XBLAFans for more announcements. Click the jump to see some new screenshots showing Maze’s spells in action.

Exis Interactive has entered into a publishing deal with Reverb to bring its side-scrolling action title, Majestic-12, to “digital platforms” on Xbox 360 and PC. The co-op shooter will be on display throughout PAX East in Boston from April 6—8. Ted Lange, executive producer of Reverb Publishing, described Majestic-12 as a retro game “in the vein of old-school shooters like Contra.” Exis previously did some work on F.E.A.R. 3 and XCOM.

The game is a classic story of a friendship gone awry: man and alien were once the best of buds, but no longer. Mankind, being the slimy backstabbing race it is, decided they’d had enough of that whole buddy-buddy routine and cooked up some diabolical plot or another to cross the aliens. Trouble is, the aliens found out; and they’re not exactly taking it in stride. Players will be thrown into bullet hell scenarios that Reverb seems to be attempting to coin a new term to describe — “core-casual.” It essentially breaks down to the old easy to learn, hard to master approach to gameplay.
