007 Video game: GoldenEye 007: Reloaded (2011)

007 VIDEO GAME TITLE: GoldenEye 007: Reloaded
YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 2011
DEVELOPER: Eurocom (Wii), N-Space (DS)
PLATFORM(S): PS3, Xbox 360
BOND LIKENESS: Daniel Craig

ABOUT

GoldenEye 007 is a 2010 first-person shooter video game developed by Eurocom and published by Activision for the Wii video game console, with a handheld version for Nintendo DS developed by N-Space. It is a reimagining of both the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEyeand the 1997 Nintendo 64 video game GoldenEye 007. The game was officially announced by Nintendo at their E3 2010 conference presentation. The game was released on November 2, 2010 in tandem with another Bond game, Blood Stone. It took on the elements of a modern shooter while retaining a classic name. A remastering of the Wii game was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in 2011, re-titled as GoldenEye 007: Reloaded.
 
Although Pierce Brosnan starred as Bond in GoldenEye and was featured in the 1997 game, subsequent Bond actor Daniel Craig's likeness and voice are featured in the 2010 game and the plot has been modified to fit with the current style of James Bond films. Judi Dench, who has portrayed M since GoldenEye, reprises her role for the game, though in voice only. With the exception of M, all other main characters from the film have had their appearances altered, though they still retain their original names.

Unlike the original video game and therefore movie, the whole story takes place after the Cold War due to the Soviet Union's replacement by the Russian Federation, so the story does not jump nine years ahead after the opening sequence.

The story is set some time after the events of Quantum of Solace it begins as James Bond (007) and Alec Trevelyan (006) (Elliot Cowan) are on a mission infiltrating a chemical weapons facility in Arkhangelsk, Russia, which is believed to be the source of weapons used by a terrorist cell to target British embassies around the world. The mission goes awry when Trevelyan is caught and apparently shot by General Ourumov (Laurence Possa). Bond escapes by detonating explosives he had placed throughout the facility before stealing a motorcycle and chasing a plane over the edge of a cliff, fleeing Arkhangelsk.

007 Video game: Quantum of Solace (2008)

007 VIDEO GAME TITLE: Quantum of Solace
YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 2008
DEVELOPER: Treyarch (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360), Eurocom (PlayStation 2), Beenox (Microsoft Windows, Wii), Vicarious Visions (Nintendo DS)
PLATFORM(S): Windows, PS2, PS3, Nintendo DS, Wii & Xbox 360
BOND LIKENESS: Daniel Craig

ABOUT

The core gameplay in Quantum of Solace is that of a first-person shooter. Throughout the game, however, the view will switch to a third-person view to emphasize that the player is playing as James Bond. This third-person view will be used with a cover system and quick time events, among other scenarios. An example is using quick time events to chase Mollakaduring a level that is a recreation of the construction site chase at the beginning of the Casino Royale film.

This is also the first James Bond video game to be released on a current generation console as well as the first to feature Daniel Craig's voice and likeness, as well as those of Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric and Judi Dench.

007 Video game: From Russia with Love (2005)

007 VIDEO GAME TITLE: From Russia with Love
YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 2005
DEVELOPER: EA Redwood Shores, Rebellion Developments (PSP)
PLATFORM(S): GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, PSP
BOND LIKENESS: Sean Connery

ABOUT

From Russia with Love is also notable in that it is the first video game to use Sean Connery's likeness as James Bond and the first to include all new voice work by the actor.
 
One of the most obvious changes to the story for the video game is the absence of the villainous organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E. who played a vital role in the film version, but not the novel version of From Russia with Love. Due to legal issues that have plagued the James Bond series of films since 1963, the organisation was renamed as OCTOPUS and appears to lack a central leader in the same vein as Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The film rights to S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and the film Thunderball, are owned by Kevin McClory.

The game begins with a standard pre-title sequence in which Elizabeth Stark, the British Prime Minister's daughter, is kidnapped by OCTOPUS while attending a party. Fortunately, Bond was assigned to attend the party for just such an event, and he defeats OCTOPUS and rescues Stark.

007 Video game: GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004)

007 VIDEO GAME TITLE: GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 2004
DEVELOPER: EA Los Angeles (PS2/Xbox/GameCube), EA Tiburon, n-Space (DS)
PLATFORM(S): GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo DS
BOND LIKENESS: Unique

ABOUT

Despite it is set in an alternate timeline of James Bond universe, the player takes the role of an ex-MI6 agent who is recruited by Auric Goldfinger, a member of a powerful unnamed criminal organization, to assassinate his rival Dr. No. Several other characters from the Bond film series make appearances throughout the game, including Pussy Galore, Oddjob, and Xenia Onatopp as well as Francisco Scaramanga, playing a Q type character with the voice and likeness of Christopher Lee, who played the same character in 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun.
 
At the start of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, a recording by M (head of MI6) reveals that: "Three years ago, while on assignment, the agent was severely wounded in an encounter with Dr. No, and subsequently lost the use of his right eye. Consumed with vengeance, he frequently resorts to violence and brutality, and is no longer fit for service with MI6." According to the account, the agent was shot in his right eye by Dr. No during a mission.

Three years after the incident which claimed the agent's right eye, he is evaluated through a holographic simulation in which he is paired with 007 to stop Auric Goldfinger, a member of a criminal organization, from detonating a suitcase nuke inside Fort Knox. He fails the test, and is held directly responsible for the "death" of 007. Charged with "reckless brutality", he is dismissed from MI6. As he leaves the headquarters, he is seen reading an offer by Goldfinger to enlist in his organization.

007 Video game: 007: Everything or Nothing (2004)

007 VIDEO GAME TITLE: 007: Everything or Nothing
YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 2004
DEVELOPER: EA Redwood Shores, EA Canada, Griptonite Games
PLATFORM(S): GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Game Boy Advance
BOND LIKENESS: Pierce Brosnan

ABOUT
007: Everything or Nothing is the second Bond game played in the third-person and is the first Bond game to feature a two-player cooperative mode, however, unlike its modern predecessors, 007: Everything or Nothing lacks a true deathmatch multiplayer mode, a popular staple in Bond games since 1997's GoldenEye.

The game received high praise from some quarters, some critics calling it "the Bond movie for 2004" due in part to its high production values. For the first time in any James Bond game, Electronic Arts hired many actors to model the characters after as well as for their voice talents. In addition to Pierce Brosnan this includes Judi Dench and John Cleese from previous Bond films and adds well-known actors Willem Dafoe, Shannon Elizabeth, and Heidi Klum to its cast.
