Press quotes from 2006:
20.12.2006
www.gamezone.de about Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam:
"Nonetheless, the playable characters are not only clearly distinguished optically - the dubbing actors are really in character, both in the English and in the German voice output, and again leave a positive impression."
08.12.2006
www.4players.de about Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam:
"On the other hand, the speech is superb, without exception: Especially the skaters' comments before each round, which you can view individually in the video menu, are not just funny, but also well-dubbed."
08.12.2006
www.onlinewelten.com about Call of Duty 3:
"The sounds come across well, generating a real feeling of honour. The German synchronisation is also convincing."
December 2006
Gamestar about Neverwinter Nights 2:
"The dialogues are the highlights of the game. (...) Excellent translation (...) The texts in the game have all been translated professionally. (...) The characters' strengths and weaknesses in Neverwinter Nights 2 are underlined with plenty of wit, charm and patience. The fact that the narrow-minded brute Khelgar has to learn tolerance leads to a lot of smiles ('Prejudiced? I'm not prejudiced! By the Nine Hells, I even travel with a back-stabbing tiefling of all things, and you know how her kind are!')."
December 2006
PowerPlay about Neverwinter Nights 2:
"The dialogues fit in well with the high-quality story."
December 2006
Gamestar about Stronghold Legends:
"excellent speech (...) good German actors"
24.11.2006
www.gamigo.de about Neverwinter Nights 2:
"And there are plenty of laughs, too. You will sometimes see as many hilariously funny dialogues here as you would normally find only in several games."
18.11.2006
www.looki.de about Call of Duty 3:
"The localisation work is particularly well done, the game uses professional dubbing actors and has been completely translated into German."
13.11.2006
www.gamecaptain.de about Destroy all Humans! 2 - Make War not Love
"The excellent English voice recordings have - thankfully - been kept and have been flawlessly subtitled in German."
03.11.2006
www.gamezone.de about Destroy all Humans! 2 - Make War not Love
"It is impossible to find fault with the translation, the team even took pains to accurately transport the humor as well. Experts know that it isn't always easy to translate the punch line of a witty phrase from English into German. In this case, we take our hats off to the developers and the responsible parties: The translation work can definitely be classed as a success."
03.11.2006
www.gamecaptain.de about Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption:

November 2006

25.10.2006
www.gamezone.de about Stronghold Legends:
"The acoustics, on the other hand, are exemplary and almost make up for the damage to the atmosphere done by the graphics. The German voice-overs, in particular, leave a good impression with their charm. The amusing texts will make you smile from time to time - and they were all recorded by highly professional-sounding, motivated actors."
24.10.2006
www.krawall.de about Stronghold Legends:
"The speech, on the other hand, is convincing, with a charming, medieval vocabulary."
23.10.2006
www.mega-gaming.de about Stronghold Legends:
"The German actors used also sound very good and breathe virtual life into the heroes. They and the distinctive narrator create a truly professional impression where the German synchronisation is concerned. (...) + very good acoustics"
21.10.2006
www.gamecaptain.de about Stronghold Legends:
"Prepare your ears for plenty of authentic sounds. Roaring dragons, the rattle of swords and the soldiers' screams as they charge the enemy. The actors also give a professional impression."
20.10.2006

"Very good German actors were selected for the many dialogues, and the sound effects are exceptional."
19.10.2006

12.10.2006

09.08.2006
www.mega-gaming.de about CivCity: Rome:
"The building sim leaves a thoroughly good impression acoustically. The missions are accompanied by pleasant background music that is good to listen to. All the German voices are pleasing to the ears too, publisher Take 2 has even used some known actors."
28.07.2006
www.krawall.de about Over the Hedge:
"The little animals' phrases are entertaining and varied."
14.07.2006
www.gamevision.de about Over the Hedge:
