I think it' s a good move aswell but a lot of people don' t seem to share the same vision for some reason (which I don' t understand).

Well i expect BC to be pushed onto 360 as well as Fable 2. That' s why i' m happy i think! The other good thing is that even if the studio puts out less than great games (Black & White 2 for example), they' ll still always be financially secure! I wonder who they' ll buy next...

Besides the movies, lionhead has been making some really solid games, and as for a company that doesnt make allot of games, that' s a pretty good track record.

Thats some nice news. Now to get us some next gen gaming lionhead style.
I was only dissappointed with Fable because I was expecting somthing similar to what Oblvion is now (but in a more realistic current/past gen style of course). With Oblivion out Im sure Lionhead will be inspired to do some amazing things with Fable 2.

I hate this, The Movies is one of Lionheads Best Games, just becuase it wasnt hyped up as much as fable or as orginal as black and white, it was a solid and very enjoyable game. I have it, and honestly say its better than most other sim games out now. Look it up, all the rave/decent reviews from the critics cannot be wrong. It just didnt sell. Which is a Shame.

O liked the concept, but for some reason it was too challenging, too much going on...
Actors being unhappy, directors getting drunk all the time..
Maybe i' m just a poor player.
I' m sure now that microsoft is the chief financial contributer, they will continue on with more projects.

Excellent move, smarter then buying Rare. Escpecially when you consider how much they paid for Rare.

I' ve read in an old article (april 6th) that Lionheads next game will support online play. Interesting.
No wonder why they accepted Microsofts offer. One fifth of the staff had left the company when MS bought them. Probably because the company was doing kind of bad. The Movies you know. Anyway, they will show something at E3.
