I Love Daniel Craig.
Oh, And The New Bond Game Looks Pretty Good, Too
The official UK PlayStation Magazine seems to have gotten their hands on the first screenshots of the upcoming James Bond videogame based on the eagerly anticipated Quantum of Solace. (If only so we can find out exactly what the hell that title means.) Having taken over Bond game development from EA, Activision is pulling out all the stops to make sure Quantum of Solace leaves all other 007 titles in the dust. (Will anything ever replace GoldenEye in gamers' hearts?)
Quantum of Solace will actually include the events of Casino Royale, and use the same game engine as Call of Duty 4. The likeness of Daniel Craig is impressive, but you'll only see it when you're taking cover, because otherwise, the game is played from a first-person perspective. In keeping with the spirit of the newer Bond films, the game will also be more gritty and "realistic," meaning no invisible cars or jetpacks. I'm a little leery of the gameplay mechanic where the gun sight from the opening of every Bond film ever will close in on you as your health depletes. That could be obtrusive. Still, I have hopes that a new developer will breathe new life into the Bond game series and make this one worth playing. And apparently, Daniel Craig is a gamer himself, and is keeping a close eye on the quality of Quantum of Solace. God, like I needed another reason to obsess over the guy...

Other stuff like this: activision, casino royale, daniel craig, ea, james bond, quantum of solace
Daniel Craig is absolutely up there with Sean Connery on my list of the very best Bonds.
Let's hope this game turns out exquisitely (I for one would not complain in the least bit if it shares quality with, say, No One Lives Forever or Half-Life 2 in terms of roller coaster type gameplay and cinematic interludes).
Oh, and it's a great pity that Eva Green's femme fatale Vesper Lynd had to die in 'Solace', it would've been amazing to see her in this game; she's one of the strongest, most memorable Bond characters ever.
Sorry to disappoint, but this game is gonna be painfully bad. Daniel Craig's likeness is the only well executed point of the game.
