Tweet What do legendary pitcher Curt Schilling, best selling author R. A. Salvatore and famed game designer Ken Rolston have in common?

Tweet Up until now there haven’t been many big video game releases. Don’t get me wrong, Margaritaville Online has its place, but it is hardly a hardcore title. Unless you mean hardcore drinking, but even that is questionable. Luckily the end of January means the first of 2012′s big console...
