  • Haha that's fair enough mate 😄, and thanks for the kind words :) Now this next one will be more up your alley: FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE Stylish, exotic, mysterious, tense, thrilling and atmospheric, the second Bond film satisfies in almost eve…

  • Since First Light re-ignited my interest in Bond video games, and because of the long hiatus between 007 Legends and First Light, I realised that since TND for PS1 I haven't played just two Bond games: GE Reloaded and 007 Legends. I haven't had a h…

  • I also quite liked M here, as well as the look of Bond himself. Oh and Q too.

  • I remember 007 Racing, which wasn't stellar I suppose is fair to say :)) But I did love that you could just ride with all the gadget-laden Bond cars up until that point, except the one from TLD. That always bugged me to no end. Superhappy to see we …
