KOA is awesome, It only got an 8/10 from game informer, but I think they low balled it compared to Skyrim. It's kind of cool that Curt Schilling is the owner of 38 studios. I remember when I was like 11 and I used to go to Phillies games and watch him pitch, he was awesome. Ofcourse that was before he left for the Red Sox. Here's an article.

When four-time World Series pitcher Curt Schilling started his video game company in 2006, some took it as a sign that the American League right-hander was simply indulging in an expensive hobby.

“People saw it as a vanity project,” Schilling said during an interview, spitting tobacco juice into a paper cup between words. “I get it. There’s not a long track record of people leaving professional sports to become a software developer.”

Last week, the world got to find out just how serious the former Phillies, Diamondbacks and Red Sox hurler was. After spending tens of millions of dollars of his own money, he and his company, 38 Studios, shipped their first game — a lavish fantasy title called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

Although it’s too early to tell how well the $59.99 title is selling, critics have given it solid marks. One reviewer at the website Joystiq called the game “immaculately crafted and beautiful.”

For the 6-foot-4, 45-year-old Schilling, Amalur is a milestone in a long, arduous journey.
