Retired baseball star Curt Schilling has apparently always been into roleplaying games and computer technology, which is why he built a game company and put out Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Released in early February, Kingdoms of Amalur was designed as something of a cross between God of War and Oblivion, which would be awesome if they could pull it off. GoW’s combat style married to Oblivion’s exploration, crafting, and roleplaying elements would be great. Add in a strong mod framework, and you’d have game of the year every year. Is Kingdoms of Amalur that game? The Wall Street Journal as the story.
I love that gaming has grown so powerful that Serious And Respected News Sources have to cover the game beat. We will soon control all human culture and thought! Muahahaha.
