"I've had an absolute blast playing through the storyline part of the game (singleplayer) and I have to say that the multiplayer is not too shabby either, although I seem to be dying left and right (I probably need to switch from decaf to regular so my reflexes will be a bit quicker). I would say that if you were going to buy a shooter on the Xbox360 this holiday season it should be Activision's 007 - Quantum of Solace, but I'm also playing Activision's Call of Duty - World at War so this is a hard toss. But you know you much better than I do; do you enjoy playing as a modern day spy or as a WWII soldier? But if you are going to get two games this season, 007 - Quantum of Solace will not be a disappointing tile."
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. The video games inspired by these films are a particular testament to those difficulties, considering their trajectory: an early enormous success in GoldenEye, through weakly received adaptations and original stories, to a near-decade of non-existence.
In the 38th episode of GO!, the first person who plays as three different characters in three different video games who have the same first name as an Achievement Hunter becomes this week's victor and gets a sticker to add to their collection.
Continue Play's Shehzaan Abdulla takes a look back at the first major Bond outing for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - an FPS/TPS hybrid that does justice to neither of the genres it draws inspiration from.
You should try Blood Stone if you haven't already. It's going for the same price as Quantum but I reckon it's a better game all round.
I actually enjoyed the game. The scenery was really good and varied. It wasnt the best shooter ever, but it was certainly worth playing if you like the bond franchise at all. Bloodstone was good to, just different.
