I sat through a half hour demo of the promising Xbox 360 role-playing game "Fable 2" yesterday at Microsoft's gaming event in San Francisco.
And I got the impression that the game, which is made in England by Peter Molyneux and his design team at Microsoft-owned Lionhead Studios, is very British.
As in... the opening cut scene ends with close-up footage of a bird dropping feces on you character's head.
As in... Molyneux himself cheerfully proclaiming that not only is flatulence back for the sequel but that "if we want to sell a million units in Britain, we just introduce farts."
Very, very British.
So, after the demo, I asked Molyneux if there was anything American in the game.
