The reviews are coming in: Curt Schilling’s Reckoning is a hit
Hiawatha Bray is an early admirer of Curt Schilling’s new video game. But I wanted to see what others were saying too. So I searched around and found the Amazon reviews, as well as reviews here, here and here. The general consensus: It's a hit. But that's the view of reviewers. Like in the movie industry, it's the consumes who count when it comes to success in the video-game industry, not the reviews of professional critics. So we'll see how Reckoning does commercially. ... It's good to see someone starting up a successful business in this tough economic environment -- and by someone you've long admired, i.e. Curt.
