About Me
Turner, Seth Turner. Second year psychology major and all around awesome individual. Like morality games and RPG's but throw a decent story at me and i'll shut up as well. Raised on original street fighter and metroid, moved from Sonic to Mario and then from Golden Eye, Starfox and Toshingdon to FFVIII. From then on, well everything.
Don't like Halo. Do like Team Fortress. Only sports game i've played is some olympics game with fish on the Sega Megadrive. Not an FPS fan as a rule of thumb, like Half Life games regardless.
Play as many internet flash games as i play console and PC games.
Screw having a now playing list it gets out of date too fast.
Looking forward to:
Fable 2
GTA IV
Saints Row 2
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness
And probably about other games that grab my eye
Best Games Ever
The Roman Numeral RPG's
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy VI
Breath Of Fire III
Vandal Hearts II
How about a little ULTRAviolence (Anything broadly defined as shooter)

I am the commander, you do as I SAY (Tactical games)
Command and Conquer
C&C Red Alert 2 (And Yuri's Revenge)
C&C Tiberian Sun (And Firestorm)

Tojam and Earl
Goldeneye
Where the hell do i catagorise you!?(Misc)
The Sims 2
Portal
TOP 4
It was hard to do a top ten so i did the massive list above and weeded out the best, since i like doing those each will have a quote... some are very limited in script though...
Jade Empire
See my blog post on the subject.
Kang: "Next time, I'm placing explosives around them, explosives shaped like bananas. Stops thieves, monkeys, and monkey thieves all in one!"
Gao the lesser:"I have heard better threats from children."
Player: "You've been threatened by children?"
Master Li: "I recall your earliest lessons. You fell from 1000 feet during the walk of death, which, alone, was odd enough at your age, but you made short work of the walk of maiming and the walk of intense discomfort and tore your head clean off. I comforted you, well, your head, saying that you could just walk if off, because, you know, the cut was clean and then you would punch a mountain. In space!"
Age Of Mythology
Great RTS, a quirky series of mythical beasts and heroes at your disposal as well as some all consuming god powers when you want to shake stuff up. Stands out from the others based on how long i spent playing skirmishes, which i think comes close to the two year mark.
Nothing to quote :(
Breath Of Fire III:
Best RPG i have ever played, every character had a quiqe fighting style and personality, there was plenty to discover and maxing yourself out was a relativly easy task. So long as you don't give up from boredom during the desert your fine.
Ballio and Sunder:"No one has seen us in this form and lived to tell about it!" (Imagine as an anime fan this being the first time i heard that line?"
"A D-D-D-Dragon!"
Metal Gear Solid
One of the first and best story driven games i had ever played, great characters, interesting setting and gameplay and the greatest mullet imaginable.
Liquid:"Tell me! Did you like my sunglasses?"
Pics coming soon:

But that is of little importance. My rant for today is this.
Console "Exclusives" The simple question is why do people do them anymore? Almost anything can be ported now and companies stand to make much greater profit if everyone can buy your game from the off. I can see the reason for first party exclusives, but games like Bioshock (Just completed for the first time the other day, late to the party i know but gotta love that sweet sweet ADAM) or i don't know Metal Gear Solid, stand to make much more money if ported over. Sure Bioshock was successful anyway, but people won't be lining up to buy PS3s because of one game, the popularity of the Xbox would imply you could make much more by breaking the exclusivity and just going with sales. So yea, please please please release Metal Gear Solid for the Xbox, i already missed the last one since my PS2 died and i switched consoles. *cough* that is all. Also an "I'm spartacas" style rallying of people who read Wardrox's blog would be pretty awesome. Even more awesome if it ended with Sterling. (love the podcastle guys, keep it up.)

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
The consoles have competition so will pay for exclusives, or the studio is owned by the console maker.
If something is exclusive, the people making it can tailor it more to that hardware, thus make a better game, or one that utilized the hardware better.
More so the first point.
But as for your blog, I think you will find fewer and fewer companies going down the 'exclusive' road. From a financial standpoint, unless the console company forks over some major cash to the developer for making the exclusive, the developer will see more profits from a multi-console release. This is especially true for the PS3, since their consumer base is so much lower than the 360 or Wii.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did break the exclusivity deal at some point. I just wish it would be sooner.
