Lionhead Studios' Peter Molyneux, the developer behind games such as Fable and Black & White, has been
recognized for "services to the Computer Video Games Industry." A snip:
Speaking to the BBC News website Mr Molyneux said receiving the honour was something of a surprise.
It's come completely out of the blue," he said, "I never would have guessed that I'd have that kind of honour."
He said he was surprised as much because, not too long ago, many people thought computer gaming was a fad.
The recognition is part of a New Years Honours list, which you can find a full list of on
BBC News.
