If impersonation is the sincerest form of flattery, color Call of Duty 4 a shade of red as there is not one, but two games coming out this holiday season that use the COD4 engine to bring their experiences to life. There's obviously the next installment in the COD series but the second is a bit more surprising. It's a movie licensed game that some guys may have heard of titled James Bond.
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.

Great, lookin forward to it.
