From a change in hair color to pouring out his favorite martini in lieu of another, James Bond has undergone a reinvention as of late. The super swank secret agent is in for a whole lot more this autumn when Activision debuts its first take on the franchise with Quantum of Solace. While only scant few details were offered up during Activision's demonstration, we're hopeful that 007 can make a hit out of his return to consoles.
Quantum of Solace chronicles both the stories of the previous film, Casino Royale, and the upcoming one of the same title. Specifics on the plot are being held back in light of how closely it parallels the movie, although it's pleasing to note that Daniel Craig's likeness is being leveraged for the game. GamePro witnesses this blond Bond navigate two levels -- one from Casino Royale and the other from the new movie -- which perfectly caught his secret agent moves in action.
Everyone’s been thinking about James Bond lately, with the franchise’s latest cinematic release tantalisingly close yet pushed back by the pandemic. It serves as a reminder of the wider obstacles faced by this particular franchise—one that can be nimble, competitive, and invigorating—but yet is a behemoth always struggling against the weight of its reputation in a changing creative landscape. The video games inspired by these films are a particular testament to those difficulties, considering their trajectory: an early enormous success in GoldenEye, through weakly received adaptations and original stories, to a near-decade of non-existence.
In the 38th episode of GO!, the first person who plays as three different characters in three different video games who have the same first name as an Achievement Hunter becomes this week's victor and gets a sticker to add to their collection.
Continue Play's Shehzaan Abdulla takes a look back at the first major Bond outing for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - an FPS/TPS hybrid that does justice to neither of the genres it draws inspiration from.
You should try Blood Stone if you haven't already. It's going for the same price as Quantum but I reckon it's a better game all round.
I actually enjoyed the game. The scenery was really good and varied. It wasnt the best shooter ever, but it was certainly worth playing if you like the bond franchise at all. Bloodstone was good to, just different.
