Reviews and Post-Release Press

[Annette]

Gaming Nexus has posted their review of Dominions 3 with a score of 8.7. Reviewer Tyler Sager wites:

...the AI is quite good on its own, and it has trounced me completely in each game I’ve played. I just don’t quite have the hang of things yet, and I haven’t found the perfect Pretender to suit my liking. However, there are countless combinations to try yet, and I’m sure I’ll get it right eventually. And I’m having a blast in the mean time.

Giles Bird gives Dominions 3 four out of five stars at Yahoo! Videogames.

Also, in the year-end awards section in the March issue of Computer Games Magazine, Dominions 3 is named #7 in the top ten games of 2006. Not just strategy games, but all games.

I like the link to WalMart through the Yahoo site which doesn't have Dominions available...

Somebody at Illwinter/Shrapnel should take a screenshot of this page with Dominions 3 nestled between C&C3 and WoW:BC in the rankings on the bottom right!

Thanks for the heads up, guys. I've written to Yahoo Games to see if we can purchase the "buy now" link since we don't distribute the game through Wal-Mart.

MetaCritic is always a good source to check as it struggles to compile every single review for every game out there and give the games an average rating based on all of them. Dominions 3 is currently at an impressive 82%.

Yes, Metacritic is a great resource!

For our Finnish players, just got word of a 94% score at Plaza (Link).

What's the policy on translating articles? I presume we'd have to get permission from Plaza first, but if we do, I can do that. I've worked as a freelance translator at one time and an article like that would be a piece of cake to do, even keeping most of the humor and peculiarities intact.
