Everything about Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning seems designed to lose my interest. There’s the title, the high fantasy setting, the silly race names. The entire game seems like a pastiche of all of the action role-playing titles that came before it. But then I played it and suddenly I was enthralled. I suppose it stands…

I’m A Little in Love With My New iPad Arcade Machine
Last night I sat in front of an arcade machine in a darkened room of my house and played ’80s arcade games until well past midnight. While I haven’t given up on the idea of building a little arcade in my home, Ion’s iCade does a good enough job of replicating a form of the…
