Then keep the real world at bay for even longer with Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning

Youre dead.

But dont worry, you get better.

Thats how your story starts off inKingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.

All in a days work for a dead hero walking.

And additional feature of the combat system is the fate meter.

This stealth system functions much like those seen in other games, includingSkyrim.

Dont mistake this for overly basic though.

In fact,Amalurhas various elements that really do beef up the whole role playing system.

Want to dispell that tempting chest that could be full of rare items?

Then youll have to learn some dispell skill, or youll have a hard time of it.

Need to persuade a character to part with a needed item?

Dont even try if you dont have a good persuasion level.

That is, aside from lock picking, which is a little too easy in my opinion.

Theres always something to do in the world of Amalur.

Quests are also balanced just about right too, and theres quite a bit of variety in there.

Theres also no loading between areas, except when you go into buildings or dungeons.

Its a great mix of old and new.

Its a very promising start to what will hopefully be a new series of RPG tales.
