Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Achievements: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2

We received a tip that the list of achievements for the new Rainbow Six game have made it into the wild. My favorite after a quick perusal of the list is "Haute Couture," given for creating your own custom camouflage.

I'm ashamed to admit that the game that I've come closest to getting all achievements is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix followed closely by Shrek the Third. Sad but true.

EA Makes Good On Mac Gaming

Mac gaming may be the punchline of many PC gamers jokes, but it's kept alive by a handful of Mac OSX publisher holdouts. Only the biggest games make their way to the Apple OS, like World of Warcraft, The Sims, Doom III, Halo and Civilization. But, EA's pledge to bring more of its games to the platform have become reality today with the release of surefire hits Madden NFL 08, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars and Need For Speed Carbon. All four games will be available at retail within the next two weeks.

Apple stock was up 5.01 (4.28%) on news that probably had nothing to do with this at all. Full press release after the jump.

Gamers Still Love Buying Harry Potter Shovelware

EA's financial results for the quarter, released today, wasn't cluttered with great news for the company—more on that later tonight—but one bright spot was the still white hot license for Harry Potter. The latest game adaptation of the film adaptation of the book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sold a magical 2 million copies during the first week of its release. Impressive even when you consider that it was released on 8 separate platforms. More »

Clip: Harry Potter Waving His Wand

Carpal tunnel, here I come! Most Wii games involve the entire arm swinging, but Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is a wiimote wand only (using the nunchuk for walking around, of course). After watching this demo, I could've sworn I heard that not-so distant crunching noise of my wrist. Graphics wise (as much as you can tell from an online trailer) it looks pretty good on the Wii, which I'm sure will surprise most critics. Even though it looks like a fun purchase, I don't think it will inspire me to repeat any of those dumbass magic spell incantations aloud while playing. "Repairo I sound Stupido!" Kim Phu More »
