I doubt Pete will bow down to any demands by Microsoft anyway, I think that its more a kudos ourchase, i.e. Lionhead has a lot, Microsoft needs as much as possibnle

Interesting, although I can't see black and white style games working that well on an xbox. Speaking of which, I might have to get round to buying B&W 2 sometime soon...

They're likely to push more Fable-style games out onto the 360, IMO.

The reason BW2 failed ? ITS CRAP

it was rubbish, a real let down

i was so excited when i got it, but very very quickly saw what a let down it was, and damn was it a let down

saddening, B&W was a superb game, but B&W2 didnt give you enough control

both games are pretty rubbish, B&W beacause you cant play, beacause you have to tell your people to wipe their backsides

and B&W2 where u can barley do anything, and its generally pretty boring, just capture a city or make ures uber
