The New Harry Potter Game Is a First-Person… Uh… Caster
Craziness. I don’t have strong enough feelings about Harry Potter or FPSes to be offended by this, but I do admire the balls needed to try something this different. Maybe EA decided why the fuck not since they get to make two games, since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been split into two movies. I don’t know that the game’ll end up any good, or if HP fans will like, but by god, it’s certainly not what I expected from yet another Harry Potter movie game.
