They've made yet another game called GoldenEye again, which should have the smart shopper wonder what the deal is. Is James Bond's fourth game called GoldenEye worth getting, let alone worth the name of the first great game to bear that name? More »

Separated at Birth? The 3DS' New Gimmick and James Bond's Weird Face

Stephen Totilo — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:20:00 EDT

Some people think that the 3DS' new second-circle-pad add-on is ugly. They mock it. They deride it. But maybe the 3DS "slide pad" is a beautiful homage to one of history's greatest video game box-art optical illusions. More »

Activision puts nostalgia-loving gamers in their sights once again, gathering a nice list of domain names revolving around something called "Goldeneye Reloaded". This could mean a number of things are in the works: an HD re-release of Goldeneye for the Wii, an HD remake of the classic N64 Goldeneye, or maybe even a turn as an Xbox Live Arcade game or on PSN?

Review: James Bond 007: Blood Stone

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 23:00:00 EDT

Ian Fleming's British super spy returns in an all-new original adventure, James Bond 007: Blood Stone, that's about as unoriginal as video games get. Blood Stone is an entertaining, just good enough shooter that borrows heavily from better games. More »

Bizarre Creations' take on seminal super spy James Bond is looking better, bigger and just more Bond-like. Or so my recent hands-off time with the cinematic action game, James Bond 007: Blood Stone, at Gamescom made me think. More »

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:40:00 EDT

The last time I saw James Bond 007: Blood Stone in action, I wasn't convinced. Something, some hard-to-define Bond quality was missing. But developer Bizarre Creations may have won me over with my second look at Blood Stone. More »

Becoming Bond Quantum of Solace Trailer

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 01:00:00 EST

Sure, the Quantum of Solace movie is getting a mixed buzz, but that hasn't dampened our interest in the QoS game. The Activision title runs on a modded Call of Duty 4 engine, which just sounds great. We can already hear the Bond theme in our head. We always here it, you know — especially when we walk around our local shopping mall in sunglasses. More »

New James Bond: Quantum of Solace Behind the Scenes Trailer Talks Environments

Adam Barenblat — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:30:00 EDT

Just as the title says, this latest video from Activision talks about how the developers are translating the environments from the film to the game. Unfortunately, there isn't much to see here in terms of gameplay, and interestingly there seems to be a lot of footage from the last movie. You can expect the game out about two weeks before the movie November 4th. More »

Another Behind the Scenes Look at 007 Quantum of Solace

Adam Barenblat — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:00:21 EDT

Be the man every woman wants and every man wants to be. While that's a pretty cool tagline for the new Quantum of Solace I still can't get over the fact that every Bond game since Goldeneye has been less than, well, Goldeneye. This is obviously not new news in any form or fashion, but come on people! we the gamers demand James Bond goodness! Hopefully Quantum of Solace will deliver what we've all been longing for. More »

James Bond 22 the Quantum of Solace is coming! It's the first original Bond film starring Daniel Craig and no 007 would be complete without his game counter part. In these videos we see how TreyArch visited the movie sets as well as how they were able to capture the likenesses of all the actors. More videos after the jump. More »

Treyarch On The Legacy Of EA's Sucky Bond Games

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:20:00 EDT

Goldeneye was a good Bond game. The last good Bond game, really. Problem being, Goldeneye was a loooooong time ago, and there have been a lot of Bond games since. So that's a problem for current Bond developers Treyarch, right? Nope! Those sucky games were all EA's fault: More »

First Quantum Of Solace Screens

Mike Fahey — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:20:00 EDT

Here we have our first look at Activision's stab at the James Bond game, Quantum of Solace, based on the upcoming film of the same name. So far it looks exactly as one would expect...your standard FPS with 3rd person elements in which you play as a 3D model that bears a creepy resemblance to Daniel Craig. Aside from Craig's plastic mug, nothing much standing out here, though with EA leaving the bar set so low, average is actually a step up. More »

First Details On Activision's Debut Bond Game

Luke Plunkett — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:40:00 EDT

Courtesy of British mag GamesMaster, we now have our first information on just what Activision’s first Bond game – Quantum of Solace – is all about. Seems it’s a first-person shooter, with occasional third-person moments when the action dictates the switch, and will be based on both Casino Royale and the upcoming flick with which the game shares its name. Oh, and QTEs will feature as well. Worth at least the benefit of your doubt, if only because it can't be any worse than the past few EA Bond games. More »

Bizarre Creations Taking On 007?

The latest issue of EGM is hitting subscriber mailboxes now, giving them a proper first look at Street Fighter IV. But the mag's long-running Quartermann-collected rumors are pointing to a new game from Geometry Wars and Project Gotham Racing developer Bizarre Creations. Quartermann writes that Bizarre's new owner, Activision, may already have them hard at work on a new driving title, one set in the James Bond universe. The title could feature "a load of driving elements," something Bizarre knows a thing or two about. More »

James Bond Addicted To Gaming

Mike Fahey — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 11:00:00 EST

Daniel Craig isn't just the closest an actor has ever come to fitting Ian Fleming's original vision for James Bond - he's also an avid gamer, with the same issues many a gamer faces. Issues like trying to find time to play Halo with his unappreciative girlfriend breathing down his neck. Of course his girlfriend is hottie film producer Satsuki Mitchell, but fundamentally it's the same thing.

"I have to pick my time well. If my girlfriend sees the box then it's all over. If I get some free time, when she goes away for the weekend, I'll go and play some games.

This is why gamer guys make the best boyfriends, ladies. When you leave your gamer alone for any extended period of time - even if he's an internationally famous sex-symbol - he's not going to cheat unless he has a Game Shark. Sure we sometimes forget you're there, but once we get to a save point it's on! More »

COD4 Dated, GHII International Tracks, and James Bond

Mike Fahey — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 15:24:56 EDT

Activision is kicking out some pretty big announcements to coincide with the 2007 Games Convention in Leipzig. First off we have an official, worldwide release date for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. November 5th is the day when players across the globe will get their hands on what could be the action game of the year. Then comes the announcement of the international track list for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, which features 11 master tracks (hit jump for full list) from artists I've never heard, such as Die Toten Hosen's Hier Kommt and Heroes Del Silencio with Avalancha. Finally they confirmed that there are new James Bond titles in the work from Treyarch, Vicarious Visions and Beenox for next-gen consoles, handhelds and Windows PCs. It's a lot to cram into one press release, that's for sure. Hit the jump and see for yourself! More »

Arcade Classics Gonna Shoot Up PS3?

Brian Ashcraft — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 07:22:19 EST

A wise man once said: "If someone else has a good idea, copy it like hell." That person of course did not come up with that aphorism, but swiped it. Sony, never content with what it creates itself and more than happy to borrow from others, likewise says that classic arcade games are headed to the PS3. Sure, this is territory Microsoft has covered before, but who cares? Good news if you ask me! More »
