I read your blog on it and I'm interested. I did these games from the late nineties because I already presented my current gen favs in another blog. My next blog is going to be about the games from 1990-1994.

I created a female character in Fable III that I ended up writing some fan fic about. She was a total rebel, then went into politics to save the children in the factory, and then became queen only to give it up so she could go on another adventure across the sea. She was a restless wanderer with a sword. Kinda like Red Sonja now I think of it.
Also, Sakura in Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo. Whenever she won she would scream her head off. It's the primal scream of a woman who's just kicked your ass! I loved it.
Excellent choice! Those games are always high on my list of games to play.
I noticed this last week (plus E on Major Nelson's podcast mentioned it), but you can just go through the purchase screen and then not download it. It's owned by you once you pass the purchase screen and you can download it whenever you need it.
Awesome game, but I have it. I'm not sure I'll download it for the convenience since it'll take up hard drive space but maybe I'll go through the purchase screen so I own it digitally and then not bother downloading it.
Damn! That's hardcore man. I can't imagine doing that, but I want to.
Carmack is very interesting to listen to. Ryan McCaffrey over there at IGN did an interview with him not too long ago and it was fascinating. I'll have to find the complete audio for his QuakeCon speach somewhere, but your article Travis did a good job summarizing it. Thanks.
I felt the same way about Halo. As time went on, my involvement with the games declined steeply. The story in the first game is very straightforward. There's a mystery to uncover and a clear enemy. The ending is epic and I'll always gape at the final cut scene. It's so Star Wars, or really any great space adventure.
I had such a weird thing with Revenge. Coming off of Burnout 3, I didn't like it, but a few years ago, I jumped back in to Revenge and wondered just what the heck I was thinking, because it is fantastic. It's easily as good as B3, if not better. It has all the essential elements of a Burnout game. Burnout Paradise didn't capture my attention when that came out, but I'm going to go back to it again someday and probably wonder what the heck I was thinking, again.
