Inventory management (Destiny)
I don't know... radial menus always seem overly finikey... especially if you're trying to interact with analog sticks...
‘Finicky’ sounds like a perfect description of moving a cursor with an analog stick. The advantage of the radial menu is it can make use of Fitt's Law — you can keep pushing in a direction and you won't ‘overshoot’ the target, because the only thing that matters is the direction you're pointing. A cursor needs to hit a target area and then stop, which makes it substantially more finicky (or to use a technical term: difficult!).
Edit: MLF can't cope with URLs with single quotes in, so here's the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law
