"(One of the few things that interests me about Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning is that it seems like an indication that the RPG is popular enough again to start seeing generic games in that genre, instead of shooters or action games.)"

What do you mean by generic games in the genre? Not of an established franchise? Would Amalur count as a "generic" game?

@Styli I'm thinking the Euro method of dates makes sense in Spanish (probably Italian and other romance languages, someone who knows those might be able to contribute). In Spanish you actually say 9 of March, 2012, so the abbreviated date order would make sense.

Every time I read a Joystiq review I really like, I scroll back up and surely enough it was written by Griffin. Good job man. Love your reviews.

Jet Grind Raaadiooooo! God I love that game. How do they port Sega Bass Fishing to 360 and not JGR (JSR)!?!

@Khakionion Crunch time is pretty much an inevitable part of software development in general. It's not supposed to happen, but it does, more often than not.

@damianesteves Magically, my order was automatically cancelled by Buy.com.... WTF.

Damnit, I ordered and didn't see that it was a knock-off. Time to wrestle with paypal/buy.com to get a refund and have it cancelled >_>

In this same vein, this doesn't take into consideration the age of gamers vs non-gamers. Gamers predominantly under 30 years old, which is a demographic stereotyped with more reckless driving and risk-taking than older people.

@MrAlex Yeahhh, that second guy would swing so close to his own face. It's a miracle they didn't slip/trip on a fruit and stab themselves.

@FakeJamaican I'm freakin pumped as well. However, does anyone notice any difference between this trailer and the graphics on the PC version run at high resolution? Seems to me that all the models and textures look the same...
