I don't know about this guy but he probably can't be worse than Craig. To be fair it's not entirely his fault, more the writers that decided to mix up the Bond franchise too much.

Being used to much more suave witty Bonds and then having Casino Royale dumped in your face is just disappointing. It's been too modernized, losing that classy fantasy element the previous Bonds had. New Bond doesn't even quip at all. Near the end of CR he shoots a guy in the face with a nailgun and doesn't even go:
"That nailed him" before straightening his bowtie.

Made me die a little inside. #jamesbond

@tim rogers: I think I would only play a Bond game if it were written by you, so you can add that to your sales pitch.

Instead of side quests, it will have tangents, and lots of them.

And about half of the reviews for the game will simply consist of, 'Too long, didn't play.' #jamesbond

I don't mind this so much. As much as I like Daniel Craig, it's generally a good thing when companies are given artistic license with a concept instead of trying directly follow a movie, or even one actor's portrayal of a movie character. #jamesbond

Wow, that guy looks like a douche. Really, they need to stick with Daniel Craig.

Although maybe if the game is developed outside of the sphere of the movie release, they'll actually make a decent game. Quantum of Solace's demo, though, seemed pretty cool, but it's definitely a bargain-bin pickup for me. #jamesbond

@Lake Somerset: @ColinStein:

I turned off Quantum of Solace about 15 minutes after renting it, but Casino Royale is by far the best Bond movie (save for the parkour crap in the beginning) and one of my favorite movies of all-time.

Craig is also good in Munich, which is an awesome movie. #jamesbond

Hmm new Bond movie next year? Hopefully that's what this means. Though I guess it would be about time for a new one, Quantum was out last November. God dammit, why is time speeding up on me for some reason?

@Zinger314: James Hawk's Quantum of Duty? Its a skateboarding game where your a secret agent with a high tech skateboard, who fights Nazi's in WW2. Or Arabs in modern times, take your pick. NO YOU CANNOT CHOOSE ANOTHER TIME PERIOD!

Seriously, TS fucking ruled. One of the first movies I was ever infatuated with. I never looked at my toys the same way, ever again. I would sit in class wondering what they were doing while I was gone.

@dillinger23: Are you insane? You want an FPS with all the gadgets and gizmos from Goldeneye on a gaming platform that has no buttons? Can you imagine how difficult protecting Natalia will be when your rubbing your fingers all over your field of view? Madness! How will you move? Seriously, the fact that I really don't see the attraction to apple's products aside, I honestly don't see how a touch screen and tilt sensor is going to be able to match an analogue stick and d-pad, let alone the dual analogues that we now take for granted.

I don't see why you have to be so rude about it. I just said it was a silly idea. Maybe you're the one who should count to ten?

Oooh Ghostbusters on iPhone!

Who you gonna call?

No one cos your iPhone has run out of battery whilst you were playing WiFi games on it and scheduling your next break at a Starbucks so that you can pretend to write a novel while sipping a choco-mocha-stwraberry-capa-frappa-cino and pretending that you actually like coffee. If you're lucky someone nearby will have a proper phone that still works because they were playing games on a handheld console like a DS or a PSP so that their phone would still be useful as a phone. If not, you deserve your fate.

@ThursdayNext: Don't forget about us iPod Touch users. I have a 32gb and get great battery life and can listen to my 4000+ song library while playing most of the games for it which can't be done with a PSP or DS. Not saying those systems are anything less than awesome but I need my music with me at all times so games on the iPod are a godsend to me.

@Gray665: Sorry, I did forget you guys. Of course, technically you can listen to music while playing your PSP and neither device would be able to get through 4,000 songs before you're battery ran out...of course if that happened to the PSP you could just swap the battery but I digress. :)

Personally, I don't feel the need for a iPod/Phone. Don't like em, never have, never will.
