Are you excited Euphoria?!

DAMN RIGHT I'M EXCITED!!! Amazon shipped my copy out today. I should have it waiting for me when I get out of work.

 

Anyways, 3 new reviews added.

Gaming Nexus:

3D Dot Game Heroes (8.3/10): "3D Dot Game Heroes is as charming as the trailers may have led you to believe. The price you pay for your trip across memory lane, however, comes with both the good and the bad of retro gaming."

The Onion (A.V. Club):

3D Dot Game Heroes (9.1/10): "The foundation for all this goofiness is a remarkably well-designed, engrossing quest. The puzzles and sword-fights in Dotnia’s seven dungeons—including an enormous final mega-dungeon—provide a sustained challenge, and they almost play second fiddle to Heroes’ copious side missions and hidden bonuses. An entire tower-defense game tucked away in here can occupy hours if you’re so inclined. The uniting thread is the game’s steadfast refusal to take itself seriously. In a medium glutted with old-school series reboots and HD graphical updates, Heroes is the rare remake that honors the past while also saying something new."

The Entertainment Expo:

3D Dot Game Heroes (8.5/10): "3D Dot Game Heroes has a lot to offer action-adventure fans, but even more for those who like their games with a wink and a nod. It doesn’t hurt that the numerous references are from an era when many of today’s gamers were getting their start or back into gaming and are, like myself, overflowing with fond memories. It would be easy to say that the game coasts solely on nostalgia, but it doesn’t – though it does know how to work a reference. Behind the in-jokes, wacky non-playable characters, and traditional mechanics is a genuinely funny and enjoyable adventure that is great for all ages and going for a very reasonable price (MSRP $39.99)."
