I make the connection to Quantum of Solace because as a follow-up to Casino Royale, Craig's second Bond adventure thundered its way through its plot to the credits with considerably less room for subtlety. Blood Stone certainly doesn't top the perfect balance of drama and action as the seminal Casino Royale, but it may at least generally keep par with Quantum of Solace. I know I may be going out on a limb here, but if a Bond game is able to deliver all, or even most, of what you would expect to get from a film of the same caliber, it's doing a pretty good job. For whatever reason, Blood Stone seemed to be "that other Bond game," regardless of whether or not it's actually good. Maybe it was Activision's mistake to quietly announce Blood Stone with little to no fanfare after they had already unveiled the Wii's Goldeneye redux in any case, from its inception Blood Stone hasn't generated much noise from the gaming community, despite the fact that it's a new Bond game starring Daniel Craig, and one that looked to deliver a more or less complete Bond experience (and in HD, too!). On the other hand, gamers expect a certain level of violence and intensity that typically goes beyond Bond's PG-13 style from contemporary games.

On the one hand, any good game should, in theory, take a great design and improve upon it, ostensibly taking elements from the best games of the genre and integrating them in an original way to an established series formula. Put up against often more visceral expectations of modern action games, this can pose a problem when trying to accurately assess an original 007 game. Bond's daily, high-octane, thrill-a-minute existence is at its best times a pinnacle of cinematic escapism, and even his more mundane adventures are a far cry from the dull existence of those of us who aren't caught up in the world of international espionage.įor better or worse, the same can be said for 007's game outingsâat least the ones that aren't based on movies. 007's adventures are always caked with contemporary sex appeal, exuding from the cars and exotic locales, not to mention the Bond girls or even 007 himself.
When you go see a James Bond film, you go in with certain expectations of what the experience is going to entail.
