Peter Molyneux has oddly decided to go ahead and review his own game even though it isn't released yet, setting a precedent for other developers...

Yawn. Call me when you get back to making PC games, Molyneux.

"I'd rate it a 9 out of 10," Molyneux added, when asked how he'd review Fable 2 - though we suspect the one-point deduction is mostly for modesty.

So you call him out on "reviewing his own unreleased game" when he was asked to directly to do so..... You then decide to make up an entire article basically poking fun at him for giving a direct answer to a question given to him? How else would you answer that question?

I'd say "Well Mr. Interviewer, that's honestly not my role but really something for the press to decide." and be done with it. Though I think it's pretty obvious he was just having a bit of fun.

Crappy journalism cheesecake

OK, I honestly had to register here just to point out how enormous bit-tech took Peter's "quote" out of context. It also helped in your favor bit-tech when you didn't even put the whole sentence in. Next time do some better journalism.

Here's what Peter Molyneux ACTUALLY said directly from the interview at CVG:

"'I'd rate it a 9 out of 10," Molyneux added, when asked if he'd fulfilled his original vision with Fable II."

Meaning that he's rating it on how close it came to his vision of what he wanted Fable II to be, not what score the critics will give it.

Next time do a better job of reporting news.
