E3: Game of the Show from Gamespot

Published Friday, August 08, 2008 10:26 PM by Sam

GameSpot.com announced their E3 2008 Editors’ Choice Award winners today and “Fable II” was declared the most impressive title at E3 on any console, naming it E3 2008’s “Game of the Show!”

To top it off, GameSpot also deemed “Fable II” the “Best Xbox 360 Game” and the “Best Role-Playing Game” of E3. 

“After seeing the game with designer Peter Molyneux and getting our own hands on it, we found that the game has more to offer. Much more. Much, much more.” GameSpot really enjoyed the cooperative play, adding, “we are floored by just how easy it is to invite another player to play.” The editors concluded by writing, “From what we've played so far of ‘Fable II,’ it is poised to make even the staunchest cynics shake their heads in disbelief.”

Some G o o d [Good] news for the team who are slaving away on the game.

It's funny they say that Fable 2 as their game of the show can be considered "shocking". And their disclaimer before they go on to explain why it won Game of Show for them;"Remember, our E3 awards are based on which games made the most impressive showing at the actual event--they're not necessarily a review or judgment call on how the entire game will finally end up."

Congrats Lionhead.

Looks like I get three days more sleep than the americans before the all nighters begin. Luckily my girl is a massive Fable fan and will be right there with me (we're even planning dates in Albion) else I'm sure I'd lose her. Still, gotta admit, I'm a tad annoyed that a British game with terribly British voice acting including terribly British Stephen Fry (that's a big enough thing to count as a feature alone) is getting a British release last. Talk about Microsoft biting the hand that developed for them.

Great job guys, that was my favorite video. The guy next to Peter looked like he wanted to grab the controller. What if this ends up being the ultimate game of all time? I'm so happy for all of you.

you guys rock.  thank-you to each member of the team for working so hard to make this an enjoyable experience for the impatient, hard-to-please and critical masses.

that was <i>not</i> intended to be a play on the phrase "critical mass" but it does sort of roll off the tongue, doesn't it?  

I do hope html is enabled in these comments.
