007: Everything Or Nothing

It’s always a mistake whenever someone says Bond films are all just dumb action flicks, especially the Daniel Craig era. But to be fair, the Pierce Brosnan flicks weren’t shy about being exactly what they were, until they parasurfed way too close to the sun with Die Another Day. Quality of the films notwithstanding, it made total sense that Brosnan would end up getting the best Bond game ever made (Goldeneye 007’s aged, and you know it. Why are you booing me? I’m right). Everything or Nothing is just a wild-ass ride from beginning to end, with enormous action set pieces no film would be able to budget for without bankrupting England. It’s frankly shocking it didn’t, considering the staggering amount of star power EA managed to rope into this. The game features Brosnan himself, as well as Judi Dench, John Cleese, and even Willem Dafoe as the baddie.Shannon Elizabeth and Heidi Klum star as Bond girls, and Mya does the theme song (which is still a bop). This is just straight up, spared-no-expense AAA shit right here, a game that actually feels like a later Uncharted sequel long before anyone even heard the name Nathan Drake.
