Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Brick
Dammit, this opening cinematic to Lego’s Harry Potter Years 1-4 game isn’t very clever nor particularly funny. And yet, such is my good will to all the Lego franchise games that I can’t help but post it, and furthermore, be kind of excited about despite the fact that I don’t really give a shit about Harry Potter. I mean, if it’s even half as fun as Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman, that’s a hell of a lot of fun, and well worth $40.
Speaking of my obvious withdrawal for some kind of videogaming fun, expect my Final Fantasy XIII review on Monday.
