After a several month hiatus, the replacement to the Sierra Forums are up! They are the 'Activision Games Forums' and as promised, are a fresh slate.

There is an option to migrate your old account over from Sierra (although it won't work for me, for some reason), use your Activision account, or create a whole new account.

(For now) the forums are located at their old URL: click here to check them out!

Take it with a few grains of salt, but a recent update on the Legend of Spyro 3D IMDb page suggests that the film will be released on February 19, 2010...in Turkey.

How official or accurate this information may be is unknown since it's not difficult to edit an IMDb page, but with so little news floating around lately, it may be something to whet the appetite.

Some news from the soon-to-close Sierra Forums courtesy of Legend of Spyro producer Chris Wilson: future Spyro games are in the works at Activision and Mr. Wilson is, sadly, no longer working on the Spyro team.

Thanks again everyone for your support. Discussions are on-going at Activision about what to do next. In the meantime, for those of you that have played it, I really hope you've enjoyed Dawn of the Dragon. Time will tell what happens next :)

Questions for Chris Wilson

Quote:

As for future games, I can't really say too much at this time. What I will share with you is that I am unfortunately no longer going to be working on the Spyro franchise. My reassignment comes with a heavy heart I assure you. This project has been an amazing experience that I will always cherish, but have no fear because Mike (Graham) will carry the torch. I have the utmost faith that the future will be brighter than ever for Spyro. Thanks again for all of your support over the years. I can't tell you how much it has meant.

Volteer - Not So Chatty

Chris Wilson has been working on Spyro games since 2004 and will be missed by all of us who had a chance to speak with him over the years. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors Chris!

In the meantime, you can all stop worrying about whether there will be any Spyro games in years to come. We have it straight from the source that there will.

It's been pretty quiet on the Spyro front these days, but a new game has been added to Spyro's Lair. In case you missed it, the game is titled "Cavern Escape" and is a simple flying game in which you fly Spyro through several obstacles in a set of caves.

Play it here!

Looks like they didn't forget to mention the new Spyro movie in production in an article written by The Examiner titled 28 video games being made into movies... Will they suck?.

There's no mention of the new Spyro movie "sucking". There's also a major lack of information about this movie...

X-Play interviewed Ted Price, head of Insomniac games (the people who made Spyro 1-3). Okay, this has very little to do with Spyro, but its a slow news month, give us a break.

Spyro does sneak a little cameo at 7:48. Check it out here.

Well, more like "mid day" now... While we've been busy playing the latest Spyro title, reviews have slowly been trickling in and piling up. It's been a mixed bag, but most scores seem to rate Dawn of the Dragon as average. Here's the run down for the console versions.

GameSpot = 5.0

CommonSense = 4/5

GameDaily = 7, OK

Diehard GameFAN = mediocre

Tech-Gaming = C+

Blend Games = 1.5/5

The Gaming Planet = 8.5

PGNX Media = 8.5

1Up.com = C+

dbtechno = 6.0

Games Radar = 6

ZT Game Domain = 6.7

Gaming Illustrated = 64%

GameShark = C

GameZone = 8.5

PSX Extreme = 6.1

PSU = 5.5

Honest Gamers = 6

Worth Playing = 6.5/10

Nintendo World Report = 5.0

Gaming Trend = 86%

IGN = 7.3

Motherboard also gave the game a good review.

A big "thank you" to all the Spyro fans at the Sierra Spyro forums for collecting all of these reviews and sharing them.

It may seem after the fact, but I've discovered some never-before-seen concept art for The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. These are from concept artist Thomas Girard who has also worked on Asterix XXl 1 & 2 and Arthur and the Minimoys.

Seven of these concept arts are new. Click here to view them all.

There's a new interview with the voice talents in Dawn of the Dragon at GameTrailers. Elijah Wood, Christina Ricci, Wayne Brady, Gary Oldman, and Blair Underwood talk about their roles in the game and what they like about most about it.

Thanks to Mydnite on the Sierra Forums for letting us all know about this.

Dawn of the Dragon was released this week, but in case you're one of the many people who still don't have a copy (many stores weren't carrying the game or didn't know when it was supposed to be released), you're probably still hoping for more new footage. Well, the Dutch tv show GameKings recently aired an episode talking about the new game.

Watch the episode here. The Spyro footage starts at around 7 minutes.

In other news this week, there is a new mini-game at Spyro's Lair: "Path of Fire".

Special thanks to darklegend and dark52 over at DarkSpyro for these updates.
