Dragonology Review

Sun, Nov 29th, 2009, 9:10 pm (EST) BY DARRYL

In 1895 Dr. Earnest Drake published one hundred copies of a book covering the lifestyles, habitats and details of dragons of all shapes and sizes. However, it would not be until 2003 that his work was revealed to the world by Candlewick Press' Ology series. A fictional twist from an otherwise factual series, Dragonology has since spawned several novels, handbooks, games, and toys all set to guide young adventurers who wish to know more about dragons. The game represents the Ology series' first step into the gaming industry (with Wizardology and Pirateology close behind), but how does it fare against the popular children's book series? More »

Right now, Formula One couldn't be more popular. More »

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising Review

Posted on 2009/10/13 BY DARRYL

Many first-person shooters (FPS) these days focus on intense action and non-stop thrills, as opposed to the more realistic simulation of war.
