Neat; the only Bond game I've played was Goldeneye: Rogue Agent on the Cube (maybe Xbox?).

How is the new Goldeneye: Reloaded? I rememebr the one a few years ago that Sean Connery did looked cool, but I never picked it up.

I have loved James Bond games since GoldenEye for N64. Definitely a purchase for me.

Played the demo of it. It did a nice job updating it for Craig's Bond. The From Russia With Love game was exquisite BTW. So much fun playing as Connery's Bond.

FYI, if anyone wants a great modern Bond experience, find Carte Blanche by Jeffrey Deaver. It's the first modern Bond novel in ten years, and it's damn good if you like Craig's Bond.

[Ninjinister]

Shoulda been a Smash clone. Could you just imagine that?

[Peanut]

You know what games are ******? James Bond games.

[SS_Turtle]

Hopefully the online play attracts allot more players than 007 reloaded. 007 reloaded wasn't to bad but COD took the precedence for online play (at least for me it did).

[Peanut]

It'll attract as many players as any other mediocre shooter that isn't COD, Battlefield or Halo, then it'll die a quick death.

[Ecto Jedi]

Oh Peanut. GoldenEye for the Wii was great! This'd be super sweet if we got to play as the various Bonds...But having all the storylines retconned to feature Daniel Craig seems like the far likelier choice.

...On second thought, that might actually be sh*t. Who wants to go through The Spy Who Loved Me as Daniel Craig? Roger Moore FOREVER.

[Turo602]

NEW BOND GAME!? Oh wait...it's from Activision.

[Ninjinister]

lol I've only actually played Goldeneye. Oh and the 2600 one. I don't even remember either of them too well.

Are there any other than Goldeneye that are considered "not s**t"?

[Peanut]

Not really. There are a couple that are considered decent, but nothing has really lived up to the original Goldeneye for 64. Then again, that game is absolute garbage, but holds a tremendous amount of nostalgic value to a lot of people, which is the only reason anyone still gives a sh*t about Bond games to this day.

I'm glad the populace at large has kind of caught on to the fact that Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were fantastic "for their time and place" games that have aged to the point of being unplayable. Those titles were still heavily defended up until a few short years ago when they released Perfect Dark on XBLA and everyone realized how big of a leap console FPS's took in less than a decade.

[Logan]

The World Is Not Enough for N64 is a solid Bond game, as is Everything Or Nothing. Goldeneye (both new and old) are really fun games and are definitely worth owning. I don't really care for multiplayer gaming, so I tend to play the solo campaigns more than anything, but both are quite fun.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i'll take a look at this when it comes out

[Ecto Jedi]

Everything or Nothing was awesome. Like Peanut said, GoldenEye 64 is a total piece of garbage, even though nostalgia may try to argue otherwise.

Like Peanut said, [I]GoldenEye 64 is a total piece of garbage, even though nostalgia may try to argue otherwise.

You want a shooter that's a total piece of garbage, look no further than Halo. Goldeneye is the balls, and this is coming from someone who just recently played it and still enjoyed it. Saying it's crap because it's not as advanced as today's shooter is a bit of a dumb argument. Obviously, games evolve. But I won't knock Pong for not being as advanced as Super Tennis for SNES. They're still fun games to play, regardless of their limitations. To quote the motto of the OPCFG: "Great games have never had to be high-tech to be high-fun."

But I digress. The new Bond game looks like it could be fun.

[Luke795]

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Licence to Kill, and Die Another Day are the next 3 missions.

[Ecto Jedi]

Die Another Day? Really? Two dozen movies and they pick Die Another Day?

[Logan]

Die Another Day? Really? Two dozen movies and they pick Die Another Day?

My guess is that they chose that particular film because it's the only one from Brosnan's tenure that never got the gaming treatment.

That being said, I'm not crazy about that choice either.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

As long as Sean Connery is in this.

If he isn't, wow.

I did love Goldeneye64, though. Good times on multi-player setting mines in the stall of the facility and having your opponents respawn in the shaft.

[Memphis]

What they need to do is feature only the Pierce Brosnan movies in this game and bring back Pierce Brosnan as Bond. He was the best IMO. Ignoring Die Another Day of course...

[The Stryker]

Isn't he like 70 years old? Come on dawg. He old.

[Turo602]

I agree, Pierce Brosnan was the best Bond. But like stated above, he is old and he isn't even the current Bond. Though I would like if they got the appropriate for each movie featured in the game.

[Memphis]

He was like the perfect bond. Craig is ok, but I can't take a blonde Bond seriously. It just doesn't seem right. I was pissed though that in Goldeneye on Wii they changed it to Craig's bond.

[Luke795]

Goldfinger is the next mission and Skyfall will most likely be the last.

[Logan]

Aw, man! I was afraid they were going to go with Goldfinger. What's the mission going to consist of, him getting captured over and over again? Easily the most overrated film in the series.

I would rather they'd gone with Dr. No, From Russia With Love, or You Only Live Twice.

[Luke795]

Released Today!!!

[Cure]

Exciting...

[rav4ge]

Interested to hear what you guys think of Legends. From what I can understand, it's a very generic FPS with Bond influences but little else.

So would it'd be better to just go for Goldeneye Wii and just skip this one entirely? Or are they not so easily compared in terms of quality? I'm kinda torn since they both look so similar.

[Luke795]

Skyfall content coming to 007 Legends as free DLC.

You could just skip both since they both suck. Or whatever.

I thought GoldenEye was great. It should be even better with updated graphics on the X-Box 360.
