With new details of IO Interactive’s Project 007 being gradually revealed and it holding the potential to be the next generation of Bond fans’ first gaming experience, it makes Hamish wonder just why Nightfire was such a success, and why it’s a game that he still play's today.
IO Interactive are bringing Bond games back to the world. This could be an incredible chapter for the franchise. Sam also discusses Bond games of the past.
With the release of "No Time to Die" on the horizon, Newsweek has taken a look at the best and worst James Bond video games of all time.
They didn’t make the cut but I also liked From Russia with Love, Bloodstone and the MP in Quantum of Solace.
The best was always going to be Goldeneye! Very fond memories of the split screen MP on N64!
Have to say, this was one of the very few times I fully agree with a "best/worst" list. The top 3 are definitely my top 3...in that order, no less.
Agent Under Fire was the shit. Probably the only one that comes close to Goldeneye, imo. Multiplayer matches in the Church level with everyone using grappling hooks and sniping each other to death. Or the harbor level and everyone rocket launching each other for hours. Lots of fun.
I actually thought Quantum of Solace was pretty good. Treyarch did a decent job. The levels were well designed and had actual replayability. It was a little bit too action-heavy, and not having driving sections was a mistake. But I still enjoyed my time with it.
I'm excited to see what IO Interactive does with the license. I think they're currently the best choice. Hitman laid a great foundation for a Bond-style game. They aren't known for driving gameplay so I doubt we'll see any, but I'm still optimistic about the game.
This week Mike (@AssaultSuit), Tiny (@Tiny415) and Aaron (@Ind1fference) talk about a lot of Star Wars Rise of Skywalker, Willow and follow that up with an excessive amount of board and video games. Enjoy!
Good times with this game. Multiplayer with friends and bots.
