It’s been over a year since I let him loose, so it was about time I think.

I’m gearing up for Kingdoms of Amalur next week, my first hugely anticipated game of 2012. I know a lot of people may be playing the demo just to get their Mass Effect 3 items, but I really hope many of them also find KoA compelling in its own right. If you’re still in the dark about Kingdoms of Amalur, perhaps this launch trailer will nudge you in the right direction.

I’ve also been sucked back into Magic 2012 on XBLA. I’ve been playing through the expansion with some of the newer decks. If they ever let you download virtual booster packs and truly create decks from scratch, I’m so screwed.
