Fable

Xbox Feature | Fable

It feels as if we've been waiting a long time for Fable. First announced three years ago at Microsoft's X01 press shindig (where it was called Project Ego), Lionhead's Peter Molyneux promptly declared it to be "the greatest RPG ever". While Molyneux today admits that "really, we just had a few concept sketches and a very basic demo of a hero standing there... I'm just an idiot, I just can't help blurting out games", recent indications are that the game will indeed be one of the finest ...

Fable 2 - interview

360 Feature | Fable 2

We recently travelled down to Lionhead's Guildford HQ to see how the epic sequel to Fable is shaping up. You can check out our impressions here, and read on to see what an enthusiastic-as-ever Peter Molyneux had to say...

The scale of Fable 2's world is huge compared to the first game. We're sick of mentioning it, but the first thing that came to mind was the jump to GTA IV's Liberty City...

Molyneux: The first thing we did ...

Next-Gen's 30 most anticipated games of E3

PS3 Feature | Fallout 3

In choosing games for this list, we kept an eye on games most likely to succeed at the market. We also tried to keep in mind potential critical reception based on developer track record, previous franchise performance, and how the titles have been presented in the media thus far. Naturally we also picked the titles we are most excited to play at the show, but in short, these are the games to keep an eye on, because these are the games that ...

Before the fall

PC Feature | Fallout 3

The good people over at sister mag PC Zone recently spoke with developer Pete Hines from Bethesda about Fallout 3 and the mixed emotions surrounding the title. Heres what he had to say. “Weve said this before and well say this again: not everybody is going to agree with the game were making: its a solid-gold lock,” exclaims a tired and emotional Pete Hines when we ask him about the forthcoming Fallout 3. Hes just spent a long day plugging the hugely anticipated Oblivion expansion ...

Far Cry - hands-on

PC Feature | Far Cry

Far Cry has been talked about with great enthusiasm from the moment Crytek's first-person shooter was revealed. We were treated to five single-player levels of the latest code and the quality of the game before us never fell below impressive. Just this once, believe the hype...You play Jack Carver, a boat-for-hire mariner, and his latest fare has gone the way of the pear. Cocksure reporter Valerie crossed his palms with a ludicrous amount of silver to buy a ride to a paradise island. However, ...

It came from Africa

PC Feature | Far Cry 2

Nov 20, 2007 In March 1898, two maneless Tsavo man-eating lions preyed on workers during the construction of the Ugandan railway. The pair, part of a testosterone-charged sub-species of lion local to the area, killed an estimated 135 people - their efforts later immortalized in the Val Kilmer film The Ghost and the Darkness. In late July of this year five men from Ubisoft Montreal were spending a night under canvas in the same area. “We couldnt see anything - we just heard an elephant ...

Far Cry 2 - interview

PC Feature | Far Cry 2

Three years. It's been three whole years since a the little known German developer called Crytek amazed the PC first-person shooter world with its debut game Far Cry. It came out of nowhere, and proceeded to blow everyone away. But despite its critical and commercial success, the game's publisher Ubisoft then decided to focus its efforts on console development where the franchise was concerned, and it was only last month that it finally announced the long-awaited return of Far Cry to the ...

Sideways is sexy

PS2 Feature | The Fast and the Furious

Admit it: you have no idea how to drift race. You may have unlocked every car in every Gran Turismo or Need for Speed game ever, but that's not drifting. You're aware that it's a hip, hot new way to race, and you've seen the incredibly tricked-out "whips" that these maniacs drive - maybe you even know that drifting originated in Japan, and that it involves power-sliding the hell out of everything and looking as good as you humanly can as you do it. But you don't really know how to drift ...

Battle plan

PSP Feature | Field Commander

The PSP's cache of games is steadily growing, but there are still very few exclusives for the handheld that are truly worth the time. Strategy and tactical nuts should be quite excited to know, however, that Field Commander is shaping up to be one of the hottest multiplayer games on the system. We recently caught up with Bill Coyle, lead designer of the grid-based, military game for more info. How early on did you know that multiplayer was going to be a huge feature in Field Commander? The ...
