Release: May 11, 2010 (US)
Format: PlayStation 3
Price: $39.99

What is it?

Take 99% of the gameplay from The Legend of Zelda for NES, add in 11% of the gameplay from Ginormo Sword, and make an art style that rips off LEGO so bad it might as well be MEGA Bloks and there you have 3D Dot Game Heroes

What's the story?

There's a force of evil and you have to defeat it. Oh, and the world used to be 2D sprites but the King of Dotnia thought they didn't look cool so he turned it 3D.

How awesome is it?

So awesome, apparently! It's gotten great reviews and is said to have around 30+ hours of gameplay, which you can't beat for $40. It's also hard, unlike many games that come out these days.

It's the type of game you wish Nintendo made these days but they're too busy making Wii Fit Sports Kit Plus

    Too many games in May aodhaoihwdiaowhd

    I really want this game, but I am already getting Red Dead Redemption.

    I hope to get this game some time soon though. It looks awesome. And I somehow made it this far in life without playing a Zelda game for than five minutes. I guess this game is super influenced by the Zelda games, so that is a thing.

    The character maker looks awesome.

    This game isn't influenced by Zelda. It is Zelda, except it's dressed up as a parody/homage and given a few gimmicks.

    Fucking awesome gimmicks.

    $40 dollars seems kinda steep for a downloadable game, but this looks really fine and fun

    will probably get it before the month is out

    I saw a video somewhere on Giant Bomb that showed a couple of dudes playing it a bit, showing how you can pick a different character model and stuff. One of the characters you can pick is Riakoh

    from Otogi. I hope my Xbox holds out long enough for me to get that game, it looks fun. The sequel looks good too.

    It does have its own big error (the "Yellow Light of Death")

    It's not that common, though. Definitely a lot less common than the 360 failure rate.

    what no

    ginormo sword is just grinding to make your sword bigger to grind to make your sword bigger

    this is Zelda but instead of shooting sword beams with full health you have a huge sword. once you get hit (and I've heard it's a pretty tough game) you just have a normal sword

    When the hell did game companies start dropping so much shit in the late spring early summer

    Seriously this is the first summer time I can remember where more than, like, 1 good game came out.

    Basically last year gaming companies thought they were hot shit when they found out they could get more sales if they released sometime after the holiday rush when the market wasn't so saturated with awesome stuff

    Except everyone figured this out at the exact same time and so the holiday rush just ended up getting pushed back a couple of months

    This isn't really like Ginormo Sword at all. I don't understand where that's coming from.

    The only Zelda my room mate likes is the original, but he hasn't played much of it. Hopefully he flies through this so I can trade my Xbox for his PS3 for a while. Fuck I want to play this game so bad.
