With Skyfall's release on DVD, The National Post's game columnist argues that it's time to reimagine what a video game Bond should be.
"...We’re drawn to James Bond because of the man he is. But how has nearly every major Bond-branded game released in recent memory treated this fascinating fictional fellow?
As an arm with a gun."
EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
I don't think you'll ever get a good Bond game especialy with Activision holding the rights to it now
However
With NaughtyDog focusing on cinematic like games I would like their next game to be a James Bond type game, like what Uncharted was to Indiana Jones.
The Main hero - James Bond
The boss - M
Female companions - Bond girls
It could work if they did it right and the best part about it is if they started with a young talented singer, ND could do their own "Bond Themes" for the games. If it becomes popular enough by the third game they could get a well known singer to sing the third games theme.
Just saying it would be a great idea in my opinion, you might not get a good James Bond game but least we'll get the next best thing.
I'd quite like a game like EON, although Bloodstone was a pretty decent game, it didn't feel as polished or as good as EON.
I would love an EON version of Goldeneye with Pierce Brosnan. Obviously not an FPS, because we already have that on the N64, and an insult in the form of Goldeneye Reloaded with Daniel Craig...
Agreed muchly, except for the Timothy Dalton thing. An RPG-ish Bond game sounds amazing.
I just wish these people adapting the movies into games would actually watch the damn movies first. From Russia With Love was an okay game, but it was glorious for a James Bond nerd when they stayed close to the film. When Red Grant stepped off the train alive, I got pissed off and quit playing.
007 Legends just looked depressing.
Naughty Dog doing a bond game would so incredible!
Sony make this happen!
I wish we could get another game like Everything or Nothing and Nightfire :(
