That Stone Sure Has a Lot of Blood On It!

Console(s): Ps3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Microsoft Windows
Genre: Shooter
Release Date: November 2nd 2010

Daniel Craig lends his voice but unfortunately it's his
stunt double providing mo-cap.

Yes the witty title is of course referring to the new Bond game: Bloodstone, a third person shooter being developed by Bizarre Creations. The story's being written by Bruce Feirstein, the man behind Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough, Bizarre Creations however, are well known for their racing games; such as PGR and blur, both good but the last time they had a go at a third person shooter (The Club) it didn't go so well at all. Bloodstone is mainly a third person shooter however hand to hand combat seems to play a big role along with the famed car chases of 007, it boasts the new 'Focus Aim' system that allows you to lock onto targets after taking them out (better than it sounds... no really!), and will have up to 16 player multiplayer (spies vs mercenaries) but as we all know; Quantum of Solace's multiplayer barely got played due to bad scoring, let's hope Bloodstone is different.

When it is thought that a researcher is dead, James Bond (you) and socialite Nicole Hunter go on a search across Athens, Istanbul, Monaco, Siberia and Bangcock (don't laugh!), but Bond's got to fight off a terrorist organisation led by a man they call... Greco! Sounds cool? The bad news is it's on the same engine as The Club (mentioned earlier as utter crap), Daniel Craig's stunt double is providing mo-cap and features the voices of Daniel Craig, Judi Dench and Joss Stone. The game will be published by Activision on PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and Microsoft Windows, it will be the 23'd game with a 007/James Bond brand on it and to be honest, it could be one of the best... Jeez, why can't they just redo Goldeneye!? Oh wait they are! On Wii! <Very, very, very unhappy face>
