PETA Names Veggie-friendly Fable 2 as the GOTY

47
Apparently overlooking the "Chicken Kicker" achievement in Lionhead's Fable II, animal rights group PETA has recognized the title as its game of the year.

"Fable II is a vegetarian's dream come true," writes PETA in its GOTY. "In this virtual fight between good and evil, characters powered by tofu are just as powerful as their meat-eating counterparts--and are more fit and attractive to boot."

"Featuring a strong pro-vegetarian theme, eating a plant-based diet helps you rack up 'purity' points, whereas eating meat makes your character fat and evil. A fun and innovative game, it's also an effective tool that teaches gamers the real-life benefits of a vegetarian diet."

PETA is no stranger to the gaming industry of late. The organization recently forced Sega to pull Samba de Amigo ads that featured trained chimps, and in November produced a Flash-based version of Cooking Mama subtitled "Mama Kills Animals."

      The obviously pro-veggie theme in Fable2 annoyed me about the game when I was playing it.

        The game itself was just liberal out the ass, it was really annoying. Especially since your decisions are supposed to influence your characters.

      I watched my roomie play Fable 2 for a bit and just could not understand why people think it's so great.
      A more accurate name would have been "Do Chores and Fart to Win Friends and Influence People."
