This is going to sound so dumb but my mind instantly goes back to the gameboy game my profile picture comes from. Travelling, talking to people, using a variety of methods and tools to solve puzzles, requiring to know the basics of Baccarat ;) I know it sounds silly, but narrowing your perspective on the Bond world down to the barrel of a gun misses out on so much of what makes the world appealing. I don't think it's the best James Bond game, but I think it get a lot right, where other more popular Bond games miss the mark.
I'm also working on my own interactive Bond experience that I hope will capture the world of Bond better than any of the games.
Not dumb at all. I own a loose copy of that game but have yet to purchase a Gameboy to play it.
Having seen a few YT videos on it I can see why you would choose it. It's unique among the rest of the Bond gaming library.
Out of the ones I played I'd say TWINE on the PS1. It strikes a balance that most other Bond games don't, 1/3 of the game has no combat, it places emphasis on stealth and gadgets. One level had you mostly avoiding cameras, the next at a casino playing cards, another even has the player stealing I.D to gain entrance and then finding pass cards to make their way down to Renard before a confrontation. It's only about 4 hours long so it never feels like it drags either.
Yes Splinter Cell was going to be ptiched as a James Bond game. The game was sci-fi shooter called The Drift. They change the works around and made it a MGS 2 killer instead. Using Thief and MGS elements to create what we know as Splinter Cell today. I'm a big Splinter Cell fan and I always thought of Sam Fisher as American James Bond.
I’m surprised more of the games don’t have a cards playing element, seems like it would be a simple enough addition. I suppose it would mess with the pacing of a FPS, but I go back to my original point that a strict FPS doesn’t really capture Bond. Might have to check out TWINE but I gave my PS1 away lol
I'm shocked as well you don't see a lot casino mission in other Bond games it makes sense for a Bond game. I think a lot of FPS Bond games comes from is Goldeneye since that game pretty much changed console FPS genre.
A PS2 or PS3 would suffice, they both play PS1 games.
But I agree, this focus on Bond video games playing more like Goldeneye 64 or Call Of Duty is ultimately what led to poor sales. It's a shame that EON have no interest in the marketplace anymore. I'm beginning to think we will never see another 007 game.
Two points
1. I wish Calvin Dyson will review the James Bond game for gameboy (I would also like his reviews to include The Duel but of o had to choose one)
2. I too have played a ton of splinter cell games ... I want both Bond and Fisher back
Nick and others pm me as I want to continue this bond conversation
Glad to continue the conversation. Already replied to your pm.
Injustice 2 despite owning both games I have barely played either, will attempt to complete the second game.
I am a bit divided on this game. It looks amazing, is well acted, and the moment-to-moment gameplay is really fun (I prefer the exploration elements but the stealth combat is good fun too). Not too fond of the story, not because of what happens, but the pacing to me seems off and the game is easily 10 hours too long. I thought we were getting to the end and then it continued on for another 5 hours. It is a game I am glad I have played and finished, but am not sure I would revisit it.
Far Cry 3 Classic Edition
Bought this for £2.49 from the PlayStation Store. Graphics have aged since the game came out but the core gameplay, shooting and exploration is really good fun. A nice palette cleanser from TLOU Part 2, due to its tropical island setting.
Ring Fit Adventure
I have been playing this during lockdown and it a fun way of having a core workout, and a fun game too, with a light story and RPG elements. The mini games are fun too.
What machine did you play Red Dead Redemption 2 on ?
I read that it's got a lot of bugs for the pc version.
PS4. This week I completed Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered for PS4. Now I’m on Call of Duty Advanced Warfare with Kevin Spacey.
Paper Mario is hilarious and a series best as far as I'm concerned. Not sure how many Nintendo nerds are around here, but it's a pretty perfect example of the delightful childlike escapism they do so well.
Dragon Quest Vii is just me trying to get through the whole series this year. It's my favorite one, but you do feel that 70 hours.
Cult Manager Tycoon is also pretty hilarious, but not in a Paper Mario way. It's a satirical indie game about running a cult.
I'm also tempted to start Metroid Prime Trilogy again in my Wii U, but I keep hoping an HD version will be announced....

Rayman Redemption, a splendid fan-made "remaster" of the original Rayman game, that adds many things (including a new world) and fixes or improves several aspects of the original game.
Something else I have been planning for a while. Playing the series (at least the entires availble on current gen consoles), from the beginning, in order of where the events take place. I just need to pick up the games 4 to 6. I remember playing this on the Gamecube in the way back when, though I recall very little of the story.
Xbox One X Enhanced
Picked this up cheap, I missed this one first time round in fact I think its the only one in the series I never played, nothing has jogged my memory yet.
Opinion is stronly divided on that one. Myself, I really liked Blacklist. The stealth mechanics were just perfect. It's kind of... the OHMSS of the Splinter Cell series. Conviction is the only one I haven't played. Didn't have a 360 at the time. Now it's available as bc on the XBox One, I should grab a copy to try it for myself.
God dammit Ubisoft, stop arseing about and give up a new Splinter Cell. Enough with the cameos already.
I only play the original mobile version of the game...
I have been playing Arkham origins I am the knight mode (doing most of the side quests rather then try the main quest for now because I am just happy to have something to do in the game I fear the boss battles to be honest.
I am still stuck half way through Conviction I could not get past some Hotel Security as a bomb was going off and that was several years ago, I should try and finish the game a some point.
I have the Steel Book of Arkham Knight though early on in the game, I played Asylum not sure I played Origins, was that the second game in the series?
third
Asylum 2009
City 2011
Origins 2013
Knight 2015
Arkham VR
Sucide Squad kills the justice league
Just fought the giant bat in the church. I could have made it easier on myself by using the shotgun (rather than the pistol) but when I encountered the bat, I was playing as Rebecca (Billy was carrying the shotgun).
Pretty fun. I should have gotten this years ago. Since I finished most of the original game, it's fun to expand on it and deal with new quests, characters and enemies.
Like a fine wine, it just continues to get better with age
Nice graphics and gameplay for a golf game.
