I apologise for the wonky camera angle in this, by the way. As impressive as EA's booth was, it was far from convenient for filming and everything was done in a bit of a rush after several audio problems.

Kingdoms of Amalur doesn't just recycle its dungeons
Following his retirement from major league baseball, Curt Schilling decided to open 38 Studios, which is now working on the open-world RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. The new IP has both Todd McFarlane and R.A. Salvatore on board as well. During the interview, we talk about the story, Reckoning's interesting new take on the combat, class system and just how open-world it is.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Uh... LOL, WTF is a MMORPG single player? Does this girl even know which end of the microphone to speak into? Hey aquastorm, do you even know Wtf you're talking bout? The game is based on an upcoming mmo. Anyways, looks awesome. I like the feb release date. I can jump into this after I'm done with skyrim and be done with it before mass effect 3. Game looked really interesting. Wish I'd had the chance to get hands-on but we had to hurry up and do interviews. Seemed kind of like Fable mixed with some traditional MMORPG elements, but single-player. Really pretty too.
I apologise for the wonky camera angle in this, by the way. As impressive as EA's booth was, it was far from convenient for filming and everything was done in a bit of a rush after several audio problems. I played this game and it is pretty awesome. A friend that works for a junk removal atlanta company told me about it and it really caught me. I showed it to some friends along the way and now we have a clan that is 24/7 on and playing. In my opinion it is far better than World of Warcraft, Lineage2 or Aion. 6:30 PM on 05.21.2013 Team Fortress 2sday: Yes, this is still a thingI have a confession to make: I'm terrible.
