Celebrating 50 years of the MI6 lady bothering secret agent, Dan Maher avoids heaping further praise onto the N64's GoldenEye as he lifts the lid on long-forgotten 007 games. Who knew you could distill 007 down to a text-based adventure?
Adam writes "I’ve been a fan of the British secret agent James Bond since I first saw A View to a Kill at the age of 5, for the record, A View to a Kill is still my favourite film in the franchise; you’ve just got to love Christopher Walken as a Bond villain! In addition to having seen all of the movies in the franchise (including the unofficial entries), I had also played all of the console games based on the license. Even though movie-licensed games tend to suck, the Bond license has a much more solid track record for producing decent games. Because of that, I decided to produce lists of my picks for the seven best and worst Bond games starting with 7 of the best."
As good as 007 Goldeneye is. It has not aged well. 007 Nightfire takes it place for me. I love blood stone though. It was originally going to br a trilogy sadly.
A shame we havent had any Bond games recently
It has been a while, hasn't it! Bloodstone was my last. Odd too since Sony's had the Bond license in their back pocket this whole time, but haven't commissioned a game.
Everything or Nothing's probably my sentimental fave. One of the first 3rd person cover shooters dating back before Uncharted and Gears. Highly polished, never gets the credit it deserves.
A game worth checking out is the PS2 version of Quantum of Solace. The main game on the PC, PS3, and Xbox360 was horrible. But a different studio made QoS on the PS2 and unlike the other versions, the PS2 one is a Third Person title.

Goldeneye purely for nostalgia reasons alone. I've never had so much fun mowing down friends,, when I wasn't being slapped to death by Oddjob of course.

The 2000s saw the release of some of the most influential titles in the history of the medium, and the tidal wave of games hitting the store shelves month after month meant that some truly spectacular titles were swept away in the hype, resigned to the bargain bins where they languished for years.
