3D Dot Game Heroes: Today is a happy day photo

Today is a happy day, my friends. I'm very behind on work, am coming down with something I caught from GDC, and am suffering from a lack of sleep this week, but it all seems fine today. What's so good about today? Today is the day I get my 3D Dot Game Heroes review code. My desk is already piled with review code, but I'm going to do that really dramatic thing where you slide everything off your desk and onto the floor today when 3D Dot Game Heroes comes. It comes, as review code typically does, very early, so that we may play the game fully for our review. I don't need two months, though. I'm going to do this TODAY. Or today and tomorrow, marathon style.

News? You're looking for news? There's no news here! Do you think I'm going to write up news when I could be preparing to play 3D Dot Game Heroes? I suppose I could guide you to the game's Facebook page. I suppose I could also guide you to my pal Spencer at Siliconera and his story on why 3D Dot Game Heroes is never coming to the Xbox 360. I'm not going to do any of that, though. I'm busy. Preparing.

3D Dot Game Heroes releases for the PS3 on May 11th for the retro price of $39.99.

Wow Atlus sends out their preview code early. I'm very jealous, 'cos I'm pretty sure this game is going to be incredible. Sounds like Atlus is confident of that, at least.

The code is for download and play the complete game on a dev console? The download must be an unbearable wait. Exactly what I'm feeling right now, but shorter.

Is there a review embargo on this? If not, I cannot WAIT to see a review super-soon.
This game looks freaking fantastic.

Oooh Ekans is in it!?!

Jim I dislike your review style but your other work on here is fucking hilarious. Seeing your twits on the side makes me wish you would post a video of your new Ekans friend

I did that slide everything off your desk stuff all the time in high school. The people who witnessed it found it very unnerving that an honor student like me could even think to.

Holy fuck this is only 40 bucks? I was interested but not enough to buy, but now I think I'm going to go reserve this sometime this week.

I would be excited about this, but seeing as they never released Demon's Souls in Europe I doubt we'll get this either.

Oh well, hopefully it will be cheap to import.

Good for you by the way, bud.

@Ganjookie Wrong Blogger bro


Also you lucky bastard Dale. I cannot be more excited for this game and after the amazing game Demon's Souls turned out to me Atlus is really turning me into a multiple repeat customer.

I'd do the same thing if I were in your situation.

@Dale North: aw crap, well make it a meaty one please, my inner Zelda fanboy as been extremely curious about if this one lives up to the hype for quite a while (I'm being positive BTW, just in case Xzyliac is reading this).
