He told VideoGamer.com: I feel sorry for Denis Dyack because you know, I think a few things were said wrong, there was that really unfortunate showing at E3 a few years ago. Everyone got on the bandwagon of saying things about Too Human. Now I've played it and, you know, it's a good game. It doesn't deserve a lot of that harsh criticism. But as soon as something starts it's very hard to turn the tide and pull it back again. Unless you've got something in your back pocket to say Ahaa, but what about this? then it's really really tough. news Jul 23, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-171396.aspx Console Monster writes: The conferences may have come to an end, but new content is still being added to the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Details on STDs, condoms, orbs and annoying bards preview Jul 16, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-170846.aspx One of Microsoft's big Xbox 360 games for this year is Lionhead's Fable 2. The game is due for release this October, but can gamers expect a demo before that date? According to Peter Molyneux, the answer's no. When asked if Lionhead has any plans for a demo Peter Molyneux revealed he wasn't keen on the idea. No. I hate demos. What either happens, is you either make a demo that people think is too short or, you know, is too confusing, said Molyneux. There are a million reasons why they go wrong, very few reasons why they go right. What was the last great demo that you played and then went out and bought the game? news Jul 16, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-170978.aspx Joystiq's Justin McElroy writes: We had a lot of fun playing Fable 2 last night (more on that in a bit), so we were disappointed when we heard from several Lionhead staffers that the game's main story would take most around 12 hours to complete. It's not that we thought we were getting ripped off, after last night we just hoping the answer would be a little closer to a hojillion. Also, keep in mind: That's just for the main story. That's not figuring in the time you'll spend gambling, romancing, trying to get fat and all the other side quests that make Fable so Fabley. news Jul 16, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/fable-2/videos/g-20061010115312575037/v-2008071516425421078 video Jul 15, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-169951.aspx Microsoft is always quick to mention that they're all about the games, and not so much about fancy new HD formats that have a correlation with the color blue.

In the four days that we will be at E3 we'll be covering such a mass of games, attending many free dinners, and late drunken parties, followed by all-night writing sessions, that we are actually a bit nervous about the whole thing. This is the Super Bowl of our industry though, thus in the end our excitement to have a beer with Cliff Bleszinski outweighs the overall severity of our fear.

CVG has received a few facts and figures about the sonic side to Peter Molyneux's Fable II. The audio, or rather vocal landscape, of the game has been recorded at the London-based firm Side. It's latest newsletter reveals that Side cast over 45 actors (aged from 8 to 80) to play almost 200 speaking characters. 'Four of Side's voice directors ensured that all performances harmonised perfectly with Fable II's idiosyncratic world and captured the complexities of its inhabitants. The voice recording ran concurrently in two studios for over three months, amounting to nearly 370,000 words recorded - that's 38 hours of dialogue.' news Jun 26, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-161223.aspx Peter Molyneux has wanted to tell gamers when they can expect his studio's next ambitious Xbox 360 title for quite some time now. Never one to temper the lavish melodrama surrounding his titles, the celebrity designer has repeatedly hinted that his open-world fantasy role-playing game Fable 2 will be out this holiday season, saying at different times that gamers can expect to be playing it when the leaves turn brown, or more specifically, when the evenings draw in, and it gets a little chilly, but not very chilly at night. That's helpful information to be sure, but not helpful enough, to say the least, for the highly anticipated follow-up to one of the original Xbox's best-selling titles. Now, Molyneux may have dropped one more hint as to when the world of Fable 2 will open for occupancy, this time not the least bit circumlocutory. Spotted by the gaming-obsessed souls that call the NeoGAF message boards home, the opening scene of the sixth Fable 2 developer diary gives a not-so-subtle hint that the game will appear on Microsoft's platform in October. news Jun 24, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-160946.aspx Console Monster writes: Make space on your hard drive, there's a lot to download from the XBOX Live Marketplace today.
