Barry Hatter
Platform: PlayStation 2
Publisher: Metro 3D
Review Type: Looky
Version: Promo Shot

There's a certain honor in creating value-priced shovelware. These cheapy knock offs are the pulp of the video game industry. But, for some reason, this cynical grab at the J.K. Rowlings crowd seems to cross a couple lines. Firstly, the name Barry Hatter seems to taking advantage of dyslexic (or at the very least, stupid) Christmas shoppers. Porn companies have come up with better Harry Potter take-off titles. And then there's the above screen. We all know that brooms are a bit phallic in nature, but is it absolutely necessary for the kid's eyes to be crossed as he tugs at that bit of wood between his legs?
