Peter Molyneux is known for his grandiose statements and his involvement with several of the most famous gaming franchises out there. Populous was a game he worked on, as was Theme Hospital, Fable, and Dungeon Keeper. However, perhaps the best-known example of his excessive hyping is the real-time strategy game Black & White. While it was certainly built up in the eyes of the public far more than it should have been, Black & White is hardly a bad game. In fact, looking back, it's a classic that got hammered initially, but only grew more and more likable as it aged. While that describes a lot of games, it fits Black & White the best.

Before Peter Molyneaux was known for grand, sweeping statements about his games that he often failed to deliver on, he headed up the tiny studio known as Bullfrog, one of the originators of the god game genre. With games like Populous or Theme Hospital, Bullfrog helped to establish sandbox, open-ended games as a viable way to entertain. One of their best known, and best overall, games is Dungeon Keeper. A strange look into the seedier and hilarious side of adventuring, it was a big hit when released and is still a fantastic game, especially for strategy fans that are looking for something a little different from the normal, modern fare.
