Currently based out of Providence, RI (though they do have another location, Big Huge Games, in Baltimore, M.D), 38 Studios was founded by former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling in 2006. They are a company that excels in the development of a broad range of products, including online and console video games, toys, novels, comics, film, TV and other forms of digital media. The true test of the studio comes in the form of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, their first console game. There will be no middle ground for the game, which was released last Tuesday. It will either be great or flop. So far it seems to be the former.
EA and 38 Studios' Kingdoms of Amalur has announced some pre-order bonuses, and let's just say they look very appealing. The three packs will offer some type of equipment to benefit game play whether it be adventurous, offensively, or defensively. Each pack will be allotted to a specific vendor for sale, those who have yet been named.
