>So many games so little time.  I've been playing Diablo III for quite a while now, but I think I'm nearing my limit again (Btw if you liked necromancer in D2, the Witchdoctor is pretty good at getting big mobs of minions now).  I've got a bunch of games in Steam I haven't even tried yet, Skyrim & Arkham Asylum to name a couple.

>I don't even remember why I put Kingdom of Amalur: The Reckoning in my wish list.  A couple quick searches doesn't turn up much.  Comparison to God of War, which I like, but it's a console game, not sure how that would work on the computer, and Torchlight style art which I hate.

Maybe this gameplay video will help

I'd heard nothing about the game previously but that video makes me sure
I want to stay well away from it.

Characters in plate armor jumping and rolling around like gymnasts,
instantly swapping between a giant hammer and sword and shield, combo
moves and supercharged finishing moves and so on.

Total consolitis.

"Combat is based on the timing of button presses, similar to an action
role-playing game, with occasional quick time event cutscenes. The
combat includes a 'fate' system which allows players to accumulate 'fate
points' and ultimately enter 'Reckoning Mode', a slow motion mode that
allows the player to quickly dispatch enemies."
