What’s Become of the Harry Potter Games?

No major Harry Potter game has been released since 2011. Are they gone forever or can we expect new ones to return to loyal Harry Potter fans?

Sadly not much. Hopefully they can make some good Harry Potter games. I loved Lego Harry Potter games

Benoski3382d ago

Most of them were loosely based on the films.Now that there's no more movies being made for the time being, I don't see a new Harry Potter game releasing anytime soon.

jfcdoomblade3382d ago (Edited 3382d ago )

Sorcerer's Stone and Order of the Phoenix were a blast to play because of their explorative nature. Goblet of Fire was another good one too, many good times with the co-op on that one.

They became trash after Chamber of Secrets and Quidditch World Cup. The Lego games were fun though.

No movie, no game. no cashin.

"It’s apparent to us that the NCAA’s decision to end its long and hugely profitable relationship with EA is tied directly to the pressure our litigation is bringing to bear."

EA is always caught doing something shady

dbjj120884355d ago

Probably not seeing another NCAA game.

ftwrthtx4355d ago

That would be sad. It's usually a better experience than Madden every year.

gedden74355d ago

Nope they confirmed that they will bring it out next year...

dbjj120884355d ago

OK thanks, now I gotta get back to playing NBA Elite 11, NBA Live 12, and NBA Live 13....

jlm94355d ago

They can still make a college football game with individual licences from the Schools. Although it will be hard to sell as the player likenesses will have to be extremely generic

TrailerParkBoys4355d ago

Hope NFL follows in their footsteps, anyone know when that licensing agreement runs out? I would love some competition from other studios. Especially from Sony like how they rule with The Show. Sony hockey game sounds good too, mmmm

RiPPn4355d ago

The NFL contract ends this year, and from what I've read, EA no longer wants to pay the NFL asking price for the exclusive contract so things could get interesting.

On a side note DirecTV is rumored to be considering whether or not to renew their Exclusive Sunday Ticket contract that expires in 2015, so it appears the NFL is pricing themselves out of lucrative deals.

gedden74354d ago

I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOPE SO!!! I TRULY MISS NFL 2K football!!!

Fury vs Stress Relief: How Video Games Rile Me Up But Keep Me Sane

“Violent video games cause children to be violent.” It’s a headline every gamer rolls their eyes at, and one we’re very sick of hearing. It seems every time a game with a mature rating comes out, there’s someone leading the charge against it because of it’s supposed to have an effect on developing minds. First and foremost, if a game has a mature rating, than anyone playing the game who is not 17 most likely got it through their parents. So blame them, not the game. Pictures from the recent Halo 4 release show a great deal of middle school students showing off their battle pose with an assault rifle. Take a guess who drove them there. But the point of this article isn’t to bash parents who buy games for their kids, nor is this about the rating system. It’s about an interesting anomaly regarding how people react to the games they play. I don’t know how many others see it this way, but games involving no violence end up being the most aggravating, while games that are all about mindless violence are an excellent medium for stress relief. From HalfBeard's HUD.

Interesting story,But if the author gets worked up over a
NBA or driving game I could only wonder what he would be like if he was playing a CoD or a battlefield game!?!

If there is one thing that I have learned in my 30 plus years of gaming is :" Video games don't kill people,People play video games to keep from killing people"!!!

I have not found a better,Leagle form of stress relief than video games! As far as what games kids play,that should be up to the parents and the parents shouldn't use video games as a baby sitter.
