Following the announcement of
a new Bond game from IO Interactive I thought it a good time to look back over the franchise's frequent forays into the world of videogames. From classics such as GoldenEye (1995, Tiger Electronics) to modern AAA masterpieces like GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004, EA Los Angeles), everyone's favourite state sanctioned assassin and all-around womaniser has graced many a console's library, but which is YOUR favourite game?
I think I've only played two James Bond games, GoldenEye 007 on N64 (briefly, I never owned it at the time of the console) and the less-favoured 2010 game of the same name on Wii. The Wii game is aggressively forgettable, while the N64 game has aged considerably, especially in its controls. I probably came too late to GoldenEye to appreciate it fully as my split-screen FPS childhood memories are dominated by TimeSplitters 2, a series that owes a lot to GoldenEye (Free Radical was founded by a lot of ex-Rare employees who previously worked on GoldenEye and Perfect Dark). Not that I went without blockbuster spy action on my N64 - I have very fond recollections of Mission Impossible!
Does anyone fare better than me in their James Bond gaming history?
