Yeah, fight capitalism says Microsoft employee.
A revolutionary hero who empowered the downtrodden or a mentally challenged, psychotic ego-maniac? We're talking about every middle class wannabe campesino's poster boy, Che Guevara. Why? Well, it's the ubiquitous Alberto Korda image of the freedom fighter/terrorist that now greets you when you head to Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios.
The image is accompanied by the text: "At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love."
There are also a thumbs-up and a thumbs-down for you to click on. Your choice dictates which part of the website you'll be taken to. There is also a large, grey, '6' or maybe an upside-down '9'.
So, in an apparently irony-free statement of intent a Microsoft-owned studio is using a dead communist to sell games; you've got to appreciate the brassneck. As far as we can see the change to the site is in advance of Lionhead announcing a new game (or maybe a new Natal smoke-and-mirror act) at the forthcoming GamesCom convention in Cologne.
Votes for Fable V: The Pwning of Cuba - "The most revolutionary game ever in the whole history of the world ever..."?

new gane where you play Che Guevara and your dog follows you and you can kick him or love him or even play fetch with him its revolutionary! also every decision you make changes the outcome of the game and if you die you simply come back to life as Obama and take over the US and revolutionise the Health Care System!
