FOX News Reviews Fable III / Interviews Peter Molyneux

[Ken]

Hey all,

Ken here, writer/producer of “FOX News Gamers Weekly” for the FOX News Channel. Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up that we have posted our full review of “Fable 3” (which is awesome), along with a separate in-depth interview with the game’s legendary creator, Peter Molyneux. Peter talks to us about the future of gaming, as well as his take on “games as art.” Really cool stuff.

Here’s a direct link to the review:

And a direct link to the interview:

Also, both episodes should appear shortly at foxnews.com/gamersweekly, iTunes, and hulu.com/foxnewsgamersweekly. Anxious to hear your thoughts, and please feel free to ask me any questions here on the ProjectEgo.net forums. (Also, sorry for the self-congratulatory post... Just thought it was right up your guy's alley.)

Thanks for watching and enjoy!

- Ken

No offence, man, but that sounded more like an advert for Fable 3 than a review.

 

[Ken]

Autarch: No offense taken. We have a time limit on the length of our podcasts... It's tough to condense such a complex game to that amount of time AND provide editorial commentary. Please watch our interview, as well, which supplements the review.

But, one thing we did which you probably haven't seen much of, is the material when you finally become King... Which is SO vital to the emotional impact of the game. Yes, we made grand statements, but it's only because it's THAT amazing.

I've seen all of it, actually.

I do enjoy the rampant changes you inflict, but there are flaws in the system and the general "rush" of kingship. It's decent and the power is rather intoxicating but I wouldn't quantify it as "amazing".

 

[Ken]

It's EMOTIONAL, is the point. I agree to some extent, but I took the game as a whole, and not just the sum of its parts.

 

[andy]

This game is the greatest work of art I have seen.

 

[VicOnTop]

well whatever they say. they probably will say its trying to destroy america

 

[Ken]

This game is the greatest work of art I have seen.

andy: For me, there are now four games I really think of as art: "Ico," "Shadow of the Colossus," "Heavy Rain," and "Fable 3." I mean, sure, the Mario games, Zelda, Metroid, and a few others like Flower and Echochrome could be regarded as artistic achievements... But those four games strive to MOVE you in a much deeper way. They're not just "pretty," or "perfectly constructed," or even "artistic"... They're ART, because they challenge you on a PERSONAL level, not just a skill level. Anyway, I agree.

Please watch the review, Vic, and look past the bias.

im just all pumped for the rally on saturday!! antiteapartyextravaganza!

so naturally i cant help it atm

To each his own, it's a review, so take from it what you will and then make your own decision when you get the game. But it is nice to see someone enjoying something so much, especially with the knowledge that I'll have my hands on it sooner rather than later. Hopefully I'll experience similar feelings of pleasure and satisfaction. Nice post ^_^

Edit:

im just all pumped for the rally on saturday!! antiteapartyextravaganza!

You're going to the rally?! Ugh (jealousy/rage). I'd go but I haven't found a ride and I won't have my car on campus until early November :'(

 

[Ken]

FOX, a bunch of republicans actually REVIEWED this game? I figured FOX was going to do terrible.

Hey Yoruichi, just a heads-up... "FOX News Gamers Weekly" has been around for over three years now. Our first review was the original "Crackdown" on the XBOX 360. Check out ALL of our reviews at foxnews.com/gamersweekly. Thanks

 

[VicOnTop]

are you from fox?

yo zmalt what college?

 

[Ken]

VicOnTop: Yes. Like I said, I'm the writer/producer of "FOX News Gamers Weekly"

zmalt: Glad you enjoyed the review, man! Sure, I could make some minor, minor criticisms about the game, but it really moved me, in a way that most other games don't. Anyway, it's pretty spectacular... Don't listen to the negative reviews. "Fable 3" is more than gameplay mechanics, it's a work of art.

Also, our review and interview episodes are now up on iTunes. Here's a link to the page:

Haha, no worries, dude. I mentioned that in my first post, but I know it's easy to miss comments in forums. And no offense taken at all, man.

Also, just a note to everyone... Feel free to add me on XBOX Live or the PlayStation Network, screen name "persona1138". Thanks!

I hate Fox News.

Local channels are the best, Go, go King 5!

But besides that, the review was decent.

 

[Ken]

Terra_Zeta: Um... I got nothin' man. Our show is a great one, though. Please check it out. Watch it on iTunes instead, if you like... Just visit our page at the following link:
