I think we've all purchased at least one limited-edition game that we really, really shouldn't have. And there it sits, to this day, collecting dust on your shelf for all the world to see. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is going all out in this regard.
Reach into those pockets, because the game's various editions get way up there in price. The special edition starts at $80, then we move on up to $200 for the collector's edition, and finally, the signature edition commands a whopping $275. Granted, it comes with a ridiculous troll statue -- but still!
As expected, a rather low number of these things are being produced. I feel obligated to respect the people responsible, though. Wow.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Untested? They have Rise of Nations (one of the strategy greats) and Rise of Legends (which has fantastic art direction and quite good gameplay) to their name. Plus some Bethsoft veterans. The wow-stylings aren't my cup of tea, but I for one am watching this one.
38 Studios has no games under there belt, so I believe that they can fairly be labeled as untested.
Big Huge Games, on the other hand, has show skill in making RTS games, but Action RPGs are an entirely different beast.
The Bethesda Vets are a good sign, but I have no idea what there actual contributions where.
How can anyone be a true "Reckoning fan" when it's the first game¿ There's no demo for us to judge, if these characters expect me to pay $275 for a game, I damn well expect a blowjob from Spawn....or Violator!! WTF!
I'll see how it goes if anything, I reckon I'll get the Special Edition. I don't need the dice, or the maps or troll.
I don't know how much those things will be worth if the game bombs, though.
For that kind of money I'd want to know who's autograph I'm getting.
Thats way too much to drop for a videogame though, $80 edition does seem like the best.
Uhm.... seeing as Salvatore wrote the entirety of the game, with McFarlane contributing fully to the art design, and Ken Rolston designing it, and seeing as they're all members of 38 studios.... I don't see where you're getting your info.
