Lionhead Studios really wants customer feedback on Fable III. They're testing the target audience on Facebook by revealing a screenshot at a time, and asking what you think about what you see. They've already made allusions to making real co-op, but the best way to insure its success is by having you, the player, post your opinion with them.

They're also posting developer diaries, concept art, and ongoing information about the development process. What we want from you? Post your opinion about what real co-op means, and how it could improve the Fable III experience. Go now, sign on to Facebook (we know you have one), and leave your opinion (we know you have one of those, too).

While Xbox 360 owners got their Facebook implementation yesterday, PlayStation 3 owners should get their update today.  The Xbox 360 version of Facebook is used as a way to browse your friends, find gamertags, look at photos, and interact with the system.  Sony took a slightly different route.

Since the PS3 has a web browser, it was kind of silly to include a Facebook app.  Instead, the PS3 is going to allow users to publish trophy info, PlayStation Store purchases, and eventually unique in game information once the developers get their hands on a new API.  Also in this update is a revamped friends list (no more ugly boxes), and an updated photo browser that looks really slick.

Xbox 360 owners will be getting a shiny new dashboard update on November 17th that includes features like Twitter, Facebook, Last.FM and the Zune video store.  Also in the update will be a "News and More" section on Inside Xbox with feeds from MSNBC, The New Yorker and comics from Dilbert.  

So while the update doesn't have too much of an affect on your gaming experience, it certainly adds to the social and cooperative experience of Xbox Live.

Not to be outdone by the Xbox, Sony is planning their own Facebook app - as Eurogamer has confirmed today.  Leaked shots of the app hit the internet the day prior, and speculation ran rampant.  More information is coming "very shortly" on the update, though we have to wonder, is it really needed on the PS3?  After all, the system has a web browser.

A few days ago we told you about the Terminator Salvation Twitter game.  It's a unique mix of social networking and guerilla marketing.  Not content with taking over one social network, Skynet is expanding to the likes of Facebook and the iPhone.

The iPhone/iPod Touch game will set you back $9.99 and features a fully playable 3D campaign.  Sadly, there's no co-op to be had.  In fact, in general the the Apple App store is short on cooperative games.

Not to worry though, a free and pseudo co-op Facebook game has launched for Terminator Salvation.  The game looks to mix social networking with a strategy style board game.  In a way, it's sort of social co-op.
