"All in all, our sessions managed to raise the hairs off the back of our neck as the tension was always at a high as we avoided conflict and took down the opposition with a stealth attack from behind. Every once in awhile we would run in, guns a blazing, and take down the unnamed mercenaries who stood no chance against two special ops agents that hurdled the rails, climbed up drainage pipes, and shot out every light in the room to avoid detection."

"As a licensed title, it looks brilliant with lush colors and a unique fantasy setting that not many other games are approaching. There’s a high level of depth packaged into How to Train Your Dragon that hasn’t been seen in a licensed children’s title for quite some time. The development team even has stat-tracking in four separate areas with dozens of stats categorized in each, so there’s a lot of attention spent on longevity of the single-player campaign."

"While the Nintendo DS has no shortage of match the like-colored gem or object titles, the genre is lacking originality. Bermuda Triangle: Saving the Coral aims to set itself apart from the crowd by using an object no one would have thought to use before while also becoming Green Peace’s inevitable Game of the Year. How do you win over anti-whaling groups and gamers on the go alike? You simply make an addictive puzzler centered around nourishing aquatic life, that’s how."
