There are buttons for praising and playing with your dog in Fable II. I felt that really added to the fun and immersion too!

Good call. I'd nearly forgotten about that. Maybe because there were so many sim-like elements in that game that it didn't stick out as much. In Blob it was the only one and the game was otherwise very simple.

2.2 - Yeah, slightly different
There was still some consequence to being nice or nasty to your dog, it wasn't totally redundant.

I liked the little touches in the town of Uncharted 2. Kicking the soccer ball, petting the goat, etc. Cool, little touches

The Uncharted 2 touches were really classy.

Yeah, in a world of "Achievements", a relatively useless button sticks out like a sore thumb. Or since sore thumbs aren't that unusual (in my gaming experience), I guess it's much more apropos to say it sticks out like a random hug.
