It is truly hillarious that the topic accuses someone else of being narrow minded. Just because the other person doesn't enjoy the same games you (and arguably many others) do, you feel the need to poke fun at them. That would be the textbook definition of narrow minded. Live and let live, everyone likes different stuff. Find better things to do with your time than create labels for people who aren't like you.

^^^^Ouch. Harsh but true.

Anyway, the new Harry Potter looks like a good game (not buyng through) and EA said the Wii is the main version. Makes good use of the Wiimote and graphics are good.

i'd say a more accurate number is maybe 85% of movie games suck.

scarface was good, godfather was good, goldeneye was good, chronicles of riddick, the lord of the rings games, spiderman 2, etc

that said, i have been following harry potter closely, and this game looks like it might be really good.

also, isn't it kinda weird that you'd claim other people are narrow minded when you are assuming more than the person you're talking about?

Sometimes you forget that Goldeneye is based off of a movie. For some reason I found the movie utterly forgettable and the game more awesome than awesome.

I guess it's just hard to compare to the 8-bit and 16-bit days when movie games were held to a higher standard rather than just quick cash-ins like they are now. Disney Movie games come to mind especially, some of the best platformers of that era IMO.

The only person who's narrow minded here is you. Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, there are people out there who enjoy these games and are not interested in Mario or Metriod? That being said, you can do far worse than Harry Potter when it comes to movie games, the Potter games are actually pretty solid for the most part.

Well, the "No, you're narrow minded!" card has been played enough, so I'll go for a different approach. Maybe the guy isn't real crazy about preordering games? Hell, I haven't preordered anything in six years. What's the point? You order the game, you show up when it's released and (if it's even in that day) it's just sitting next to a stack of the same game you could buy for the same amount of money, and a week later there'll be a dozen used copies for at least 10 bucks off.

I don't pre-order games but if I did it would only be BWii and RE:UC, the rest don't interest me much either. But maybe he was getting it for his kid? Or he was one of these fabled new gamers.

Thats just bad sales men ship. Either that or he is to lazy to do pre-orders anymore, due to the fact they haven't recieveved comission on preorders, gameplay gaurntees and trades since end of 2006. In either case he has crapy customer serivce if ya ask me.

thank you

the TC didn't insult or 'poke fun' at the dude at EB. True, the guy has different tastes in gaming, butit's not like the TC called him 'stupid' or an 'idiot'. He might be 'narrow minded' - butthat's not neccesarily an insult.Although it seems like he's not into gaming anyway. Also, he may not want to get ahead of himself and start giving away cash to EB. I personally never shop at EB - I can always find a better deal elsewhere at Target, JB Hi-Fior Big W.

Casual gamers have likely not played the best games of last gen and stick to their licenced games. For example comparing EA offerings to Nintendo first party games,Rare or team ico's work will obviously be dissappointing but if the best game you played last gen was enter the matrix then well.....

Are you sure several Star Wars games? Except for Republic Commando, that pod racing game, and Battle for Naboo, most of the official Star Wars movie games are trash. Most of the good ones are KOTOR 1&2, all of the Jedi Knights series, and the Rogue Squadron series.

Doesn't have to be based on specific films for me, just a movie franchise.

Although Super Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Rogue Leader, Rebel Strike, Empire At War, X-Wing? Were based specifically around the fims and were awesome.

Oh forgot to throw in Stargate on the SNES.

Actually, the Harry Potter games didn't suck as bad as many other movie-tie ins, but they were still bad. Anyway, who knows? This could be better than all those games YOU preordered!
