Of course, you’ll get the most out of Lego Harry Potter if you can tell Dobby from the Dursleys. And if you’re one such fan, the game will frequently have you in stitches. As you can tell from the title, this adventure covers the first four novels of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, and it does so with the same humorous bent that characterizes all of the developer’s Lego games. Whether it’s a Lego Hagrid screeching into Little Whinging on his motorcycle or the lovely young ladies of Beauxbatons prancing into Hogwarts, exaggerated sound effects and adorable animations make every cutscene a total delight. Lego Harry Potter takes most of its cues from the movies rather than the books, using the films’ evocative musical soundtracks to great effect. The game takes certain liberties with the story for comedic effect, but these charming tweaks are in the spirit of the series and likely to elicit constant giggles. The only liberty that doesn’t work out so well is a final action sequence bolted to the ending of Prisoner of Azkaban, which is super fun to play, but makes no sense within the context of the original story.

Such action sequences are rare in Lego Harry Potter, though there are still light combat sections and boss fights. You defeat Dementors by casting the Patronus Charm, fight Aragog by throwing spiders at him using Wingardium Leviosa, and even take on He Who Must Not Be Named. Most of the time, however, you’re scouring the environment looking for ways to use your ever-increasing repertoire of spells. You can switch between spells easily and cast the one you prefer, and in certain cases, such as using Lumos to make vines wither away, you need to select the spell manually. However, most spells are contextual and can be cast by holding a button and hovering the spell cursor over the object you want to manipulate. Just be sure to plug in a controller or two; the fiddly keyboard controls aren’t that friendly for either kids or adults. And even with a controller, the targeting can be a little iffy; sometimes the halo indicating an interactive object won’t appear when it seems it should, and it’s really easy to target something you don’t intend to–such as an unsuspecting student. But this is a mostly insignificant inconvenience. For the most part, you’ll be smashing everything that’s smashable and reconstructing everything that’s reconstructible, reaping the bits that scatter as a reward for charms well cast.

Smash stuff, and then put it back together again: it’s the Lego way.

Between levels, you can head to Diagon Alley to spend your pips on new characters, costumes, spells, and other unlockable trinkets. But the goal of all the spellcasting isn’t just to gather money; it’s to solve environmental puzzles to progress to the next chapter. The puzzles aren’t difficult; you can solve almost any of these conundrums by simply making sure you’ve hovered your spell cursor over everything you possibly can. But doing so is a lot of fun since there’s so much variety in how various environmental elements react to your manipulations. Sconces light up and lavish you with fireworks. Mops clean puddles, and brooms sweep up dusty paintings. The inhabitants of Hogwarts’ living portraits toss you important trinkets, or grant you access to new areas if you’re controlling a member of the right house. If you’re controlling Ron, Boggarts appear as spiders, and casting Riddikulus causes them to clumsily dance about on roller skates for a few moments. (If you’re controlling Harry, these same Boggarts appear as Dementors.) You release Scabbers or Crookshanks to enter confined spaces, and you brew Polyjuice potions when you need to appear as another student. There’s a lot to do, all of the time, and while none of these tasks are challenging, the diversity keeps things always enjoyable.

Between story missions, you can explore Hogwarts and other optional areas, such as Gringotts Bank. You might finish a quick play through in six hours if you’re just interested in seeing the story, but Lego Harry Potter is the kind of game you return to again and again to uncover its various secrets and collectibles. You won’t be able to enter certain areas and perform certain spells your first time through, so to see everything the game has to offer, you must return to the levels in free play using different characters. Even if you think you’re being thorough the first play through, you’ll be lucky to approach 50 percent completion. But whether it’s your first time through or your fifth, you should take another wizard to class with you. While there is no online co-op (again), another player can drop in at any time and take over for one of your AI companions. Not only does having a buddy with you make for a better time, but you won’t need to rely on the friendly AI, which isn’t always helpful when it comes to cooperative puzzle solving. Luckily, AI failings are much less common now than in previous games, and co-op puzzles aren’t frequent, making these imperfections a minor quibble.

Snape is always muttering under his breath. But sometimes, he has his reasons.

The AI isn’t the only lingering flaw to carry over into the newest Lego game, but like that particular aspect, the others have been thankfully marginalized to the point of being barely noticeable. Slippery edges and odd camera angles hinder a couple of platforming sequences, but there are so few of them that you won’t be too bothered. Similarly, while there are some combat sections, they are very light, and few of them feature the respawning enemies that tainted Lego games of years past. In fact, they come as a happy change of pace among the many puzzles. We did encounter a few glitches, however. The game often hiccups between cutscenes, and on multiple systems, choosing to quit from the main menu caused the game to hang, forcing us to shut down the process from the Windows task manager. It’s to the game’s credit that such problems are so easily dismissed in light of all the fun and variety that so deftly veils them.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is easily the best Harry Potter game to date, though if that sounds like a backhanded compliment, consider this: It’s one of the finest Lego adventures to date as well, which is no faint praise. By minimizing the repetitive combat and inconsistent platforming, Traveller’s Tales has also minimized the frustrations, making this excursion to Hogwarts enjoyable for the whole family. Minor flaws, old and new alike, keep Lego Harry Potter from becoming a family-friendly classic, but it’s charming and funny, and most importantly, it’s fun. And that kind of magic is all too uncommon, even in Harry’s world.

The fictitious Russian island Katorga-12 is at the center of all this campy fun. As modern-day pilot Nate Renko, you’re sent to this mysterious place to investigate the radiation that emanates from it. As it turns out, the Soviets had been working with a powerful substance called Element 99 (or E99) back in the 1950s–but it seems the experiments weren’t entirely successful. The Russians were toying with time, and after a dramatic crash-landing, you’re caught up in a kooky time-traveling melodrama worthy of broadcast on the Syfy Channel. You end up flopping back and forth between 2010 and 1955, but the specifics aren’t important: what matters is that you gain use of a fantastic gizmo called the Time Manipulation Device, or TMD. With this appliance affixed to your left arm, you gain all sorts of fantastical time-manipulation powers. Drop a giant bubble that slows down everything caught within it. Age enemy soldiers until they turn into dust. Restore a collapsed staircase to its original state by turning back the clock. Your brain might turn to mush if you think too hard about the specifics, but you aren’t meant to take the plot seriously. Instead, let the constant supply of ambling mutated freaks and skittering bugs pull you along for the ride.

You’ll initially be struck by how similar Singularity is to other shooters. The audio recordings scattered about and the throwback film clips will remind you of BioShock. The ability to grab hold of objects and fling them about recalls Half-Life 2’s gravity gun. And the shooting mechanics and art style are strikingly similar to developer Raven Software’s own 2009 shooter, Wolfenstein. Yet as derivative as some of these elements may at first seem, Singularity develops a distinct attitude that sets it apart. The game moves smoothly between exciting firefights and less frantic sequences that help develop tension. The pace is generally excellent, thanks to diverse level design and varied enemies, both of which encourage you to mix up the various powers and weapons available to you. You move seamlessly from puzzle sequences that involve aging crates forward and backward, to set-piece battles against fun bosses, such as an enormous beast that attacks a train.

The TMD has limited uses when you first discover it, but as you earn new powers (and upgrade them at stations you encounter along the way), you grow to appreciate the way it keeps the action fresh and satisfying. Different powers affect enemies in different ways. Dropping your temporal sphere will freeze human enemies in its radius, but will only slow some of the more hideous creatures or cause them to “phase” in to your time period–that is, to stay visible so you can shoot them. Some beasts will toss exploding barrels at you, but you can catch them and throw them back, just as you can with rockets lobbed in your direction. You can even turn your human foes into creatures to help keep the pressure off. Some of the fancier weaponry also turns up the craziness quotient. Using one rifle, you can steer your bullet directly into your target in slow motion, which results in a satisfying splash of blood. With the sniper rifle, you can use a similar slow-mo effect to chain shots together. You’re shuffled through set-piece sequences punctuated by the occasional mild fright, always needing to switch between weapons and use all of these newfound abilities. It’s this variety that elevates Singularity above every other run-of-the-mill shooter.

Watch out–these creatures will leap right onto you.

That isn’t to say that the run-of-the-mill parts aren’t well put together. Solid sound effects and healthy amounts of gore make shooting even a regular ol’ shotgun or submachine gun rewarding. Not every shoot-out is as fun as the last, however. Getting swarmed by vermin in a tight corridor is more annoying than entertaining, and the Russian soldiers protecting their treasured technology don’t work very hard to stay alive. Don’t be surprised, for example, if an opposing soldier takes cover on the wrong side of an object, turning his back to you and letting you fill it with bullets. The linear level design and smart scripted entrances keep the AI’s dullness from being too noticeable, however, and you’re never fighting the same enemy for too long.

Singularity further mixes up the pace with puzzles and exploratory interludes. The puzzles aren’t too taxing, but there’s a certain cleverness to some of them, such as one in which you must roll a grenade through a hole in the wall toward a group of mutants feeding on their prey. You also scour nooks and crannies looking for E99 and other objects you use to upgrade your weapons and TMD. Thankfully, the dismal dinginess of outdoor environments and the glowing organic pods lining the corridors keep the scavenging interesting and keep the buzz of tension alive. Yet while the art style gives this alternate history a distinct sense of time (or times?) and place, Singularity is not a looker. It uses the Unreal 3 graphics engine, but low-resolution textures, flat lighting, and occasional animation glitches make the game look somewhat behind the times. Animation stutters aren’t the only oddities we encountered, either. Movement controls stopped responding at one point, forcing a reload; a non-player character failed to open a door at another point, which again required us to restart from the most recent checkpoint.

The diversity spills over into Singularity’s simple but exuberant online multiplayer. There are only two modes on tap–an assault-and-defend variant called Extermination and a brand of team deathmatch called Creatures Vs. Soldiers. While it’s too bad there aren’t more ways to play, what’s here is a total hoot, matching a team of soldiers against one made up of the hideous freaks you encounter in the single-player campaign. Matches are class-based but further let you tailor your character by letting you apply a number of different perks, such as enhancements to your speed or the range of your melee attack. On the human side of things, the TMD grants each class different advantages, such as healing or the ability to teleport forward. Yet it’s with the creatures that the true delights lie. As the Zek, you can conjure an explosive barrel and throw it at your enemies. As the Revert, you simultaneously slow down enemies and heal teammates by vomiting green spew all over them. Playing as the Tick is more difficult, but being able to leap onto opposing soldiers and take over their bodies makes the challenge worthwhile. The multiplayer is structured simply, and the maps are solid enough, if not exactly novel. But the variety makes it fun to take Singularity online, and you get the chance in each match to play as both creature and soldier.

If this happens to you, you may wish to consult a physician.

Singularity isn’t a groundbreaking shooter, but it’s an incredibly fun one. This is an example of how fluid pacing and a tongue-in-cheek attitude can make old conventions exciting again. Disappointing visuals and a smattering of minor flaws keep this first-person shooter from feeling completely modern, but not every game must probe the human soul to achieve greatness. Singularity achieves it with variety, moving you from one enjoyable sequence to the next without lingering too long on any given moment. Besides, this is a game in which you can both snipe hardened Soviet soldiers in bullet time and heal your teammates by puking on them. And is there any greater selling point?

When in doubt, shoot the glowing bit.

A retail copy of the PlayStation 3 version locked up on us twice, while in the Xbox 360 version, a barrel-throwing boss spawned outside of the play arena and forced us to revert to the previous checkpoint.

Now this is what Mass Effect 2 is all about. This excellent add-on has great action, a smattering of memorable moments, and a final sequence that’s unlike anything you’ve seen in the series thus far. Overlord is a short but sweet microcosm of what makes the main game so entertaining, spiced with a neat hovercraft and a few quick puzzles to vary the tempo. The vehicular sections are a missed opportunity, and some of Mass Effect 2’s occasional glitches have carried over into the latest content. But these minor gripes barely lessen the dramatic impact of Shepard’s latest mission–which also happens to be one of his (or her) best.

The Geth are never not creepy.

Mass Effect 2: Overlord begins with a summons to a newly marked planet on the galactic map, where Cerberus has been conducting some rather questionable–or perhaps honorable, depending on your viewpoint–experiments. The problem? A chilling virtual intelligence has sequestered itself in a fortified research facility, and the project’s lone surviving scientist warns you of potentially dangerous consequences if you don’t stop this malevolent entity from spreading its influence across the galaxy. And Overlord does a terrific job of impressing upon you the maliciousness of this viral consciousness. The VI’s digitized groans that plague you during your adventure are absolutely chilling and only grow more so as you begin to understand its growls. Haunting new music instills a palpable sense of tension, and the dark interior spaces provide a sinister contrast to the shimmering waterfalls and scorching lava rivers on the planet’s surface.

You roam the surface not on foot but in the Hammerhead vehicle first seen in the free Firewalker add-on. This hovercraft feels appropriately floaty, allowing you to ride large gusts of steam to higher ground and making it a breeze to zoom to your next destination. The Hammerhead is used mainly as a quick mode of transport, and flitting about in it while gawking at the idyllic scenery makes for a nice change of pace. You also take aim at a few sentry guns and engage a large turret in a boss battle of sorts, but the overall lack of vehicular action makes the Hammerhead portions feel mildly unfulfilling. Fortunately, the core on-foot action is some of the best in the series. A few of the larger environments let you take on Geth and other foes from multiple angles, which are a nice change from the straight-on encounters that typify most of Mass Effect 2’s battles. Screen-shaking explosions make one battle particularly fun; a surprise appearance of Geth foes via elevator leads to another enjoyable skirmish. This isn’t Overlord’s only important elevator sequence, however. A ride in a shaky lift is one of the add-on’s most memorable and frightening moments, and you don’t fire a single shot.

The Hammerhead’s onboard guide invites organic riders to enjoy the scenery.

You may notice some of Mass Effect 2’s annoyances creeping into the action here. The cover system can still be a little buggy, causing you to jitter in and out of cover when you just want to pop out to take a shot, and your two AI teammates aren’t always the brightest bulbs. But you’ll probably forget these quirks once you reach the exciting final sequence, which features an art style you haven’t seen in this series and an enjoyable boss fight that surpasses Mass Effect 2’s uninspired final encounter. This impressive sequence leads to a bittersweet ending and features some uncomfortable images that will linger in your mind even after you’ve returned to the Normandy.

Mass Effect 2: Overlord features a nice mix of gameplay elements, punctuating shooting segments with scripted set-piece events and smooth vehicular exploration. You even solve some light puzzles in between exciting encounters and tension-building travel, such as one in which you use a console to move platforms about so you can cross to your destination. It may only last 90 minutes or so, but at $7, this is one downloadable delight Mass Effect 2 fans shouldn’t miss.

Now that E3 2010 isn’t far away at all, it’s time to start hoping. Hoping, that your favourite sequel will be revealed for the first time. Today we’ve come up with fifteen of the most likely announcements at the expo this June;

Motorstorm 3

A shoe-in. 2006/7 was when the world was introduced the superb, dangerous and downright dirty world of the Motorstorm festival, and suddenly became a staple of the Playstation 3 console. The second instalment, Pacific Rift was more of the same (just a little bit worse) when released in 2008. Well, it’s the big 2010 now, and, mathematically, it’s time for another jump in the mud. Squeaks from people who dad knows a friend who spoke to the cousin of one of the people in Evolution Studios hint that there’s a more urban environment on the way, but as long as we get to punch people off bikes, Road-Rash style, we’ll be happy.

New Rainbow 6 Game

Twice is enough for Vegas. The streets are littered with bodies, the one-armed bandits are leaking blood, and Rainbow 6 patrols every rooftop. Time for a change. So, Miami? New York? Washington D.C.? While we’d love a CSI/Rainbow 6 crossover, the chances are slim. Instead, encouraged by the good reception to the new Medal of Honour, we’ve got our money on a new, darker Rainbow 6 – breaking all the rules, killing innocents, and being the bad guy; all for justice.

New Brothers In Arms Game

Confession time. Brothers In Arms has a very, very special place in my heart. It’s left of my right atrium (yeah, I know the names of the individual parts of the heart, want to fight about it?). Hell’s Highway, the 2008 WWII FPS, was, like a young Stephen Hawkings, brilliant but misunderstood. “Why did I have to take cover, and sit through story, and why weren’t there more explosions?” We loved everything the series offered (including the stunning Hospital level), and we can’t wait the next; a snowy setting, if you listen hard at the end of Hell’s Highway…

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising 2

There was some really awesomeness in Dragon Rising. That awesomeness was usually behind a cloud of engine shortcomings, rushed release dates and poor design choices. The general agreement between fans is that the unannounced shooter being developed by Codemasters’ Action Team is Dragon Rising 2 – an ‘expansion’ of sorts to fix the engine and deliver the game we should have had last October.

Mirror’s Edge 2

Along with Dead Space, EA’s 2008 new IPs are starting to pay off. Although it didn’t do well commercially, fans are begging for another run-and-jump adventure in a Mirrors Edge sequel. Early reports suggest it’s on the way, and as long as we don’t have to climb up a pole every 5 seconds, you can colour us excited. And red.

New Chronicles of Riddick

Surprisingly, people reacted badly to Assault On Dark Athena, the mini-expansion to the Riddick series released last year. They lapped up the HD remake of Butcher’s Bay, though, and despite Dark Athena being a step below the original, there’s nothing quite like being Richard B. Riddick in the shadows. It’s time for a proper sequel. Who knows – it might be waiting in the dark behind you right now…

Driver 5

Forget Driv3r. That went wrong. That was just a blip in an otherwise brilliant series. Instead, look to the future – how’s about an open world driving game that isn’t GTA, or isn’t a direct parody of GTA? What a world. That’s the world Driver 5 promises, if it is indeed real, and we can’t wait to see it.

Far Cry 3

The team behind the ultimately disappointing (YES IT WAS) Far Cry 2 have said they’d like to try out an Antarctic setting, so expect either another beautiful desert landscape or a lot of white. Everywhere. Let’s just hope they fix pretty much everything else. The chances of a Far Cry 3 are high, due to the bafflingly good critical reception and great commercial triumph. We’re optimistic

Race Driver: GRiD 2

The original GRiD released in 2007 and was surprisingly pleasing for me. The graphics were simply brilliant for the time, and are still pretty brilliant now. The game brought back the fun into console racing games, after the poor performance from Need for Speed games at the time and we thank the guys at Codies for that. It may not be the most obvious choice, but it would be brilliant to see a sequel to the critically acclaimed original.

Killzone 3

Inevitable. The whole team here are extremely excited about kicking the baldness out of the Helghast again and job listing after job listing hints that we will be. It might be possible that we see a teaser trailer of the game at GDC, but we would bet an arm and a leg that the game will make an appearance in Los Angeles.

Grand Theft Auto V

We’re certainly not expecting any gameplay shown, but by the time of the event, Rockstar would have had a good eight months to have chosen their plot and characters. No one is expecting the game to stay in Liberty City, and London is the proposed favourite for many. Wherever it’s set Rockstar, we wouldn’t mind a teaser trailer for this one.

Criterion’s Need for Speed Title

Burnout Paradise creators Criterion Games are currently working on this one, and unless it’s released before E3 (which we very much doubt), we’ll expect to see some gameplay. Criterion knows how to make a game fun, there’s no doubt about that. However, they need to get the game smack-bang perfect after the critically acclaimed Shift, the return of the series we all love after some pretty shoddy instalments since 2007.

Saints Row 3

Now this one’s been rumoured for a long time. But even after THQ revealed that a sequel to Saints Row 2 was in development this month, it still hasn’t been officially announced. The prequel for this one was pretty nice, but Volition needs to step it up another level with this one, and push Grand Theft Auto.

Red Faction 4

Another THQ and Volition game which is in development, but still not officially announced. All of you would have heard of the most recent instalment in the series, Red Faction: Guerrilla, which caught the eye of many due to the brilliant destruction in it. But we could be returning to the first person perspective after Volition gave it up after the first two games in the series. Either way, we welcome any Red Faction game.

Gears of War 3

Probably the most obvious for us. Design director CliffyB has recently said that some “awesome shit” is currently in the works over at Epic Games, and that it could be revealed “when the weather’s warm”, so we’re pretty confident that the game will be there. The series is a personal favourite for many, including us. A teaser trailer would be brilliant for us, but some gameplay would just put the cherry on the cake for this year’s E3 event.
