After a long wait and some of the most exciting build up I've seen in a long time, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has hit the shelves and lives up to all of the hype!




Variety review the game, and it comes out very nicely:

"It's ironic that the return of a 20-year-old franchise is the first game for Nintendo's DS that should satisfy everyone who owns the handheld console, from the most intense gamer to the most casual . "The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass" is an artful blend of deep gameplay and accessible controls that stands among the best "Zelda" games ever and, "Halo 3" hype aside, should see boffo sales throughout the holiday season."

The broad appeal of the game and its sheer playability are likely to make this a bestseller and quite possibly the DS flagship product. Check out the full review at Variety for more details. Or just get yourself to the shop right now.

If this isn't the game of the year, I don't know what is. Christmas stockings at the ready, if you can wait that long.
