James Bond: GoldenEye and Blood Stone reviews round-up

007

Today is the day the majority of reviews for both James Bond titles from Activision go live, and we’ve rounded-up what we can find for you on Blood Stone and GoldenEye below.

The GoldenEye revamp seems to being doing better than Blood Stone as far as reviews go, and Activision claims it’s outselling Modern Warfare when comparing the Wii SKUs.

However, as far as Blood Stone is concerned, around the internet, folks are saying the reviews are a bit harsh as it is a really fun game. So, that is something for you to take into consideration when deciding on a purchase.

You should also check out Johnny’s interview with Bizarre here, where the developers chat a bit about working with Dame Dench and Daniel Craig on the title. Good stuff.

As usual, if you have any review links to add, for either game, please do so in the comments section below. Both games are out in stores now.

I don’t know about Golden Eye, but Blood Stone is trash… Or blatant Uncharted rip Off.

Do any of those Goldeneye reviews talk about how it controls with a nunchuck/Wiimote combo? EG’s reviewer played it with a classic controller, which I don’t have.

Some said it’s better with the classic controller. If you don’t like pointing at the screen while playing; get a the classic con.

@Blerk, pretty sure IGN found it more enjoyable with the Wiimote and nunchuck combo

@1 Man, EVERYTHING for you is Uncharted. As I read comments you always compare everything to Uncharted. Go play something else. Uncharted is like my 3rd favorite game ever, but seriously…go play other games or try to make more creative comments.

@6 Ok, it’s a… Splinter Cell:Conviction rip off. Both shit anyway.

Now you satisfied?

Yeah it is more of a Conviction rip off with the whole focus aim thing just being mark and execute renamed, what do you mean both shit though?

Official Nintendo actually gave Goldeneye a 9.

Not that it matters, ONM is shit.
