Legend of Spyro The Eternal Night preview for Nintendo DS
Hard to believe, but it's almost a decade since the diminutive purple dragon coughed up his first fireball, in a game successful enough to spawn five sequels. Such a tireless schedule inevitably left Spyro a little fatigued, so last year publisher Vivendi opted to give the little guy what Hollywood lovingly refers to as a ‘reboot', and what everyone else simply refers to as ‘starting again from scratch'.

Happily the ploy worked, with The Legend Of Spyro: A New Beginning hailed as a DS gaming experience akin to stroking the bee's knees while wearing the cat's pyjamas. It's no surprise then to see a follow-up in the shape of The Legend Of Spyro: The Eternal Night.
