Yes Mr Molyneux, we’ve heard of you and your Fable series. It’s one thing to play the celebrity, but Peter’s recent comments just come across as arrogant. With the news of Fable II on 360 going gold, Molyneux has stated that it’s “the best, most complete game I’ve ever worked on.” He’s gone as far as to say that “I’d rate it as 9 out of 10.” We’ll be the judge of that. Not one for tact he’s blurted that “It’s a role-playing game, but where are the f**king icons? Aren’t you supposed to be cluttering the screen up with mini-maps and the like? Not Us.” This all comes via Xbox World 360, one of the CVG magazines. We’ll make up our own mind on October 24th when it lands in stores.

Namco Bandai’s series has always stood popular with fighting experts and the latest edition is no different. This is the cherry on top for a week that’s seen Bionic Commando tear up the arcade and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo do the same.
