Peter Molyneux, the acclaimed creator of Populous, Black & White, and the original Fable, was widely criticized for his original overhype of the original “Fable” for the first Xbox. With Fable 2 however, it’s clear that he’s redeemed himself in the eyes of the gaming community and recaptured his crown as one of the most visionary designers of video games of our time… and the “Game of the Year” title reflects this respect.
Winning the award over:
- Fallout 3
- Grand Theft Auto 4
- Metal Gear Solid 4
- Left 4 Dead
- Resistance 2
- Gears of War 2
… it’s clear that Peter & Lionhead Studios have accomplished something truly remarkable. Here’s a video of Peter Molyneux himself accepting the award from G4TV’s Morgan Webb and Adam Sessler:
