Oh Peter Molyneux. When will you learn to stop promising what you can't deliver. There's no doubt that Molyneux and Lionhead Studios genuinely want to push the limits of video games, and gift us with a genre-pushing, revolutionary experience. The problem is, they just don't have the ability to do it. This is most obvious in the Fable games, which are notorious for not living up to what was originally touted. Promises like a world that grows over time, affected by even your smallest actions, were proven to be false. The good and evil options weren't any different from similar 'karma' systems used in other RPGs, and most of the 'aging' features were limited and purely aesthetic. In the end, there was only so many times you could play a farting minigame in front of an NPC crowd before realising that these weren't the games that had been advertised. What's the most overhyped game you've ever bought? Are there any we missed? Let us know in the comments below!
