I Beat Harry Potter's Executive Producer In A Wand Duel

Okay, so I like Harry Potter. I checked out the Wii version of EA's upcoming Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, slated to drop alongside the film, mainly because I was interested in seeing what kind of magic wand a Wii remote made.

I had it demoed for me by executive producer Jonathan Bunney and producer Justin Manning, and it came down to a fight.

The Unlicensed Harry Potter Shoot 'Em Up

Pirates have brought gaming some good things. Make that, some interesting things. Take this unlicensed Famicom Harry Potter... shmup? Yep! Young Harry rides about on his broom, shooting floating dog heads and bats. According to game site Siliconera:


Harry Potter is playable and there are some decent enemy patterns to fly through. At the start of the game Harry is sluggish. Slower than the Vic Viper without any speed power ups slow... If you shoot an entire formation you might get a weapon power-up, a speed boost or an extra life represented a by flickering Harry Potter head.

Brilliant. Bosses include a dragon and a robot. A robot? Sure! Why not? Hit the jump for a screenshot.

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 »

Harry Potter OOTP Website Apparates

Unlike some of my journalistic brethren, I have no problem completely mortifying myself in the face of the internet as evidence by some of my past posts. So I will go on record as being a Harry Potter fan. I loved the books, generally enjoyed the films and am anxiously awaiting the final book in the series as well as the new movie. 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 »

Clip: Harry Potter Game Trailer

The kids are all grown up and but they're always up to same old shit, aren't they? This year's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix looks even darker than the last one (which is why I want to see it) both in the film as well as in the video game version. Of course, I couldn't post the game trailer up there and then miss out on the opportunity to also post a 'compare and contrast' with the actual movie trailer since it too was just released: More »

Gallery: Harry Potter and The Large Order of Screenshots

With the latest installment in the saga of Harry Potter and the Awkwardly Aging Child Actors set to hit screens in July, EA has games coming out for every system you can imagine, and has screens for the DS, PSP, 360, and GBA to prove it. I'd say the DS version looks the most entertaining, while the 360 version is ahead in the making Ron Weasley look slightly less unappealing that Rupert Grint actually is category. More »
