    Call of Duty: Quantum of Solace

     Since it came from Treyarch it was very similar to playing a call of duty game which the last couple COD 4 and COD WaW have been some of my favorites. Didn't take me too long to beat only about 8-10 hours at the most. It was great they were able to use the likeness of Daniel Craig to add that extra bit of likeness to the movie but near the end it started to distract me. His dead, expressionless face seemed so odd during some of the quick time events and even during a knife fight there would be no expression, nothing! Guess it wouldn't seem as odd if your counterpart to the fight had the same dead expression but they seemed to get a bit more emotion to show in their face.

    But that was a small gripe. If you at all like the Call of Duty series I would pick the game up it plays pretty similar except for the cover system which was hit one button and you pop into cover. But be carefull sometimes because every so often I would pop into cover on the wrong side of something and get easily tagged by on of the enemies.

    I did get a chance to play the online multiplayer which was interesting and still had plenty of people playing so if your were interested in picking a copy up it wouldn't be a ghost town for you. They also have a different system where you earn credits which you use for upgrades and weapons. The maps and characters seemed a little simple and not as polished as COD 4 and 5 but still had that COD feel...  But the bond inspired game types were enough to hold my interest for awhile and I can see someone putting in just as much time getting new weapons and so on. If I ever see this around used I might pick it up for another play thru and a bit of multiplayer.

      COD-lite action in Bond game 0

      He looks like Bond. He shoots like Bond. But he is not Bond.The remake of Casino Royale is one of my favorite movies of all time. For the first time in a long while people see the man behind the gun and gadgets. Daniel Craig sold Bond to be an ice-cold, capable, and yet vulnerable and inexperienced character. Whenever he was on camera my eyes were glued to the screen because he comes off as interesting and nuanced. Eva Green as Vesper, witty and pretty, was a great Bond girl. She didn't need to ...

      Sorta Boring/ 0

       Even though Bond games have appeared on almost every platform in gaming history, it was the N64's Goldeneye that really cemented it as a potentially powerful game brand. Now, while that game has aged about as poorly as a game can age (but isn't it odd that the first good console FPS...was on a Nintendo console?), it's still the benchmark every developer is aiming for. They've tried to not go FPS (Tomorrow Never Dies and Everything or Nothing) and it was, to be gentle, horrible. They trie...
