Fable Does NOT Suck

So I’m pissed at Gamespot. In their annual wrap-up of the year in gaming, they have chosen Fable as the winner of the dubious ‘Most Disappointing’ category. Yeah, yeah – I know someone has to win, but Peter Molyneux’s outstanding game really didn’t deserve it. Sure, Molyneux has a big mouth – and led the gaming public on to expect all sorts of subtelty which wasn’t eventually in the game, leading to his public apology, but gimme a break. The game was *extremely* open-ended, and the way you could influence your character’s appearance via morality was unprecedented. And a hell of a lot of fun to play. Gamespot did get one thing right – Silent Storm is the best game of 2004 that nobody played.
