Press quotes from 2007:
28.12.2007
nintendowiix.net about Bee Movie Game:
"The voice-overs deserve praise. Not only are they completely in German, they are also expressive and have been recorded in high quality by professional actors."
20.12.2007
www.gbase.ch about Bee Movie Game:
"It's no exaggeration to say the voice-overs are first class. The voices are great and match the lip movements, and it's a pleasure to watch and listen to the dialogues. (...) + first class voice-overs"
04.12.2007
www.gameswelt.de about Bee Movie Game:
"The lively background music and the amusing dialogues of the German version fit into the game very well and offer no grounds for criticism."
December 2007
GameStar about Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer:
"The interaction with and between companions has once again been resolved in an exemplary manner in Mask of the Betrayer - the brilliant wit of the dialogues and the amount of detail in many conversations will hold even players who normally shirk dialogues spellbound."
20.11.2007
www.gameradio.de about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare:
"The constant company particularly affects the atmosphere. You will always feel like part of a unit, never like an all-powerful lone fighter. The excellent German synchronisation takes care of the rest."
16.11.2007
www.playstationfront.de about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare:
"The background music, the voice-overs and sound effects can justifiably be called first-class."

www.looki.de about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare:
"Where Call of Duty 4 really excels is in its audio-visual presentation, which just so happens to set a new standard. (...) While gamers are forced to content themselves with the German synchronisation, it must be said that this has been achieved with great professionalism, and the battle cries you will hear on the field are very authentic. (...) The sound from your speakers could hardly be better."
10.11.2007

www.xbox-newz.de about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare:

www.planetds.de about Spider-Man: Battle for New York
"The fights involving civilians, armed villains and the representatives of law and order are the greatest pastime in the game and the pleasant cutscenes as well as the excellent speech provide a good atmosphere for players to enjoy during long nights playing on the DS. (...) A real bonus in "Spider-Man: Battle for New York" is the totally excellent German voice output. It creates a real flair while you're the comfortably playing, and players feel as if they're in a well-made cinema film after just a few minutes. Few games are able to create an individual atmosphere in this way, and the developers have to be credited for this. (...) The speech and story make this game a real experience"
January 2007
PC Games about Neverwinter Nights 2:
"Of course, the story development is mostly pretty much linear and the different dialogue options all lead to the same basic statement, namely that one must choose between a good or an evil action. But the way there is lined with well-polished dialogues and professionally presented. (...) The dialogues, story and characters are great. The (...) texts often had me laughing my head off."
