Peter Molyneux’s groundbreaking Kinect project (back when it was known as the promising sounding Natal) Milo and Kate was a truly interactive game that would push the boundaries of how gamers interacted with their console titles. Nevertheless, word is out that Milo and Kate could be biting the dust (or have already done so). On the upside, Lionhead Studios released a list of achievements for Fable III that will create some frowns about as often as it will incite some laughs. And Christopher Nolan may be a mastermind behind a camera and with notable, A-list celebrities to direct, however there are a lot of people who are skeptical about his foray into the world of interactive entertainment, even more so with an Inception game. These stories and more in this September 25th, 2010 edition of the Game Blend Weekly Recap.
