KoA: Reckoning - Preview @ TheSlorg's World

A site called TheSlorg's World has a short preview of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, based on exisiting information.  I can't see anything new but if you've missed this game from 38 Studios, head over:

At this point you may be wondering “This sounds nice and all, but what brought these industry legends together to make video games? What does Curt Schilling know about games anyway?” It all starts with Schilling who is a confessed gaming nerd. His last three contracts before he retired from baseball required high-speed Internet access in each hotel room so he could still play EverQuest on the road, and he is quoted as saying “I’d be looking at the time and thinking that if this inning ended by eleven, I’d still be able to get in the raid at 12:30.” It was Schilling’s love of fantasy and video games that led to his constant wondering of “What if?” As a longtime player of MMORPG’s, Schilling experienced everything from Everquest to World of Warcraft and, more recently, Warhammer Online. He thought about what he liked and disliked about each game and thought “Why can’t it be this way” or “What if this game had this feature in it”. Unsatisfied with simply pondering the possibilities, he decided to make them a reality by bringing in one of the best fantasy writers in existence to create a fantasy world, bringing in one of the best fantasy artists to create the world, and bringing in one of the best RPG designers to put it all together. Several years later the fruits of their hard work is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated games of the year.
