Hey, remember that awesome demo of Milo and Kate that was one of the highlights of Microsoft’s Natal reveal last year? Remember how it looked like a game harnessing some sort of thaumaturgy, allowing you to interact with a young virtual boy in a completely unpederastic manner? When it failed to make an appearance at this year’s E3, people wondered …
Peter Molyneux, head of Microsoft first party Studio Lionhead and bald-guy with his head in the clouds has told OXM that developing content for Natal is so challenging, because it’s so different. Yeah, the world has never seen camera-based motion control before. Ok sure, it now has 3D depth, but fundamentally it’s honestly not that different from the Eyetoy. Last …
Fable II’s online co-op was, for lack of a more euphemistic term, rubbish. It arrived as an add-on patch way too late, and was broken beyond the point of being playable. Not letting co-op partners use their avatars was an egregious boo-boo, too. Lionhead looks to fix all of that with Fable III’s online co-op will be a little more …

Peter Molyneux has been a particularly slippery fish of late. Interviews have him saying that Fable III would not support Microsoft’s Natal, using a controller for input instead. In a more recent interview with Dutch Site GameKings, he’s now pretty much confirmed that the next Fable game will indeed have some sort of Natal integration. Molyneux clarified his statement after …
Now this came a lot earlier than I expected, Peter Molyneux and Lionhead have confirmed at GamesCom 09 that Fable III is coming and have also given some details about the upcoming game. The game is going to add even more features that will attempt to make the player feel the weight of their actions in the form of being …
Last week we alerted you to the coup d’état over at Lionhead’s official site, where Che Guevara had overthrown the place, probably a teaser about something happening at GamesCom. Since then, the site’s been updated daily replacing each revolutionary figure and his controversial quote with another. The accompanying surreptitious number is counting down, lending credence to something being revealed at …
Cash once ruled Colorado commerce. From Denver’s neighborhood diners to mountain-town gift shops, physical …
