More appropriately, we should probably say, "
Fable 2 slayed
Far Cry 2, then farted on it, did a heroic pose for the crowd, brought it a shoddy necklace, bought it a house to live in and invited it to unprotected group sex with three random villagers." Peter Molyneux's farcical epic debuted at the top of
Chart-Track's UK sales chart, followed by Ubisoft's African-based shooter at number two. Can somebody
get Pete a tissue?
