Still hung up on dragons after the recent How to Train Your Dragon movie? In that case, here's another game for you: Dragonology, a brand new original adventure game based on the popular children's book series.

The storyline is simple. The main task of the game is for you and your dragon buddy to rescue other dragons as they're being captured and placed in sideshow circuses. There are also mini tasks in each level that you have to accomplish.

The game very much utilizes the controls of the wii remote. You get to ride on the back of your dragon buddy and maneuver the dragon's flying movements by holding the Wii remote forward and twisting it to fluidly move left and right.

The game also recognizes gestures for special moves: whip the controller quickly for a speed boost, or draw circles in the air to pull off a barrel roll.
