"From Russia With Love"

This is probably old, but it's news to me.

So EA are attempting to do what Rareware did to Goldeneye?

Probably be ok as light entertainment, anything'll be better than EA's most recent Bond release.

The good thing is that they're building on EoN, which was a good game with refreshing (for EA) new features. Thing is, they've made it into a annual franchise - great for money and the gullible drones that buy it, but people are becoming less and less susceptible to EA's franchise "charm". If they, God forbid - skipped a year - maybe gamers would look foward to them more.

Haha :D

I meant safe in that EA know they'll make money from them :P

"Safe" games. Innit. :)

Need for Speed is the "safest" by far.

Trouble is, they still sell fairly well. Which means EA know they can release another Bond game and make profits from them. They're 'safe' games for EA. Like Fifa for example.

Every Bond game since Tomorrow Never Dies has been EA trying to do the "next Goldeneye". Each time the result is at best "quite good", and at worst, AWFUL.

To be honest, I'm totally fed up of the James Bond games. The last few were all average at best.

Rogue Agent was boring as hell. I played a demo of Everything Or Nothing and switched it off after a few minutes. Nightfire bought me some enjoyment, but only because one of the multiplayer levels was awesome. Agent Under Fire was a stinker.

I don't expect this one to be any better than the last few. It's been said a thousand times before but I'll say it again, no Bond can ever live up to the standard of Goldeneye. I wish they would stop trying.
