TPV's Phil: "Dum dum dum duuuum dum dum dum. Dum dum dum duuuum dum dum dum, DEER NEERRR DERR NERR NERR!!! I hope you sang that one at the top of your voice, this week’s bargain bin is the one and only 007 Nightfire. Everyone at one time has fantasised about being James Bond, the girls, the cars, the guns, the drinks. In my opinion, this game is as Bond as it gets"
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.
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.
This is my favorite Bond game ever. I wish they'd do an HD remaster or something, complete with online multiplayer.
