Peter Molyneux, a game designer that entered the Hall of Fame of Gaming when he gave birth to the god games with the creation of Populous. Almost twenty years later, he finds himself working for Microsoft Game Studios, after the software giant decided to acquire Guildford-based Lionhead Studios and its satellites.
At the recent X06, TeamXbox had the chance to learn more about Fable 2: the sequel to 2004's ground-breaking role-playing adventure game for the Xbox.

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
yay, that looked like heaps of fun. guns. thats interesting. not bow and arrow. hmm... i really cannot wait for this game!
can we please have an open world instead of small connecting maps with lots of loading times??
Fable 2 is going to be sooo innovative. Its no wonder that Peter Molyneux is in the game designers Hall Of Fame his ideas are so ground-breaking that anything is truly possible. I would not be suprised to see this big suprise turn out to be where your child grows up and (once he comes of age) you will be able to control him and even take him on future quest, in this game or maybe even fable 3!!
Long Live Peter Molyneux!!
I think they're doing something similar to SIMS2 where eventually your character will grow old and die at which point you will be able to continue the adventure using one of your children. I think this will also apply to the NPC's as it seems logical to me that if the world around you is going to evolve then the characters within them must. This also makes sence with regards to the multi-generations, like the example of an acorn to an oak tree, in order to see this you would need a couple of generations of your character, as we all know oak trees don't grow over night it takes many years to grow to maturaty. FINGERs CROSSED this one lives upto the vision this time, although I'll be buying it anyway I loved the first one!
except for the part when they included the guns, i think they should not include it. also when is this game out? is it online? is it an rpg like oblivion or WOW or final fantasy?
