i love the new spyro trilogy. (a new beginning, the eternal night, dawn of the dragon) but dawn of the dragon it's WAY too easy. it doesn't give you a challenge. the give you too much freedom like with flying and cynder! what the heck! what is activision doing?!!!!!! i liked it when you just glided and you could pick which fury attack you wanna use. even though i do like cynder(i play as her all the time) and her elements. they changed a lot of tiny details.

Spyro the Dragon 72-Hour Marathon. Almost every game will be played in the course of 72-hours. Please attend this Thursday-Sunday. It starts at 12:00PM Central Standard Time. We're trying to raise money for The Children's Miracle Network. Google them for more information about them.
