Fable II Heroism Explored Next Week on Sci Fi Channel’s Hero Factor
What does it mean to be a hero? Starting Monday, the Sci Fi Channel’s documentary style TV series “Hero Factor” will attempt to find out.

The program “Hero Factor: Fable II” spotlights Microsoft Game Studios’ highly anticipated Xbox 360 exclusive videogame “Fable II”, and its radically innovative take on heroism. The show features a diverse cast of commentators including the game’s developers from Lionhead, game-industry insiders, screenwriters, actors, and celebrities. Collectively, these unique individuals explore “what it really means to be a hero,” and how “Fable II” is turning the concept of heroes upside down in this groundbreaking new action role-playing game. “Fable II” seeks to test the will and power of the hero; heroes must face their own moral dilemmas, and infinite amounts of choice and even sacrifice, with the fate of their families, community and soul in the hands of the player.
