Could Bizarre Creations' upcoming Bond game be the best one made this generation (well, next to the remake of Goldeneye 007)? Well, I don't have a clue, but it's sure looking pretty damn good. A few new images to ogle are below.
And here you go – note how the trailer asks and answers that obvious question for you? Yeah, this one is looking like it’s going to be a winner no matter which mode you choose.
Well, it looks as if Activision has outdone last year’s Modern Warfare 2 pack-in, folks. As you can see by the pic above, Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Edition will include a cool RC vehicle inspired by the RC-XD remote-controlled car from this year’s multiplayer portion of the game. There will also be a Call of Duty: Black Ops Hardened Edition that will feature a limited edition Black Ops medal, a custom skin for Xbox 360 Avatars (what, no PS3 love? – I’ll have to ask about this) and four unique multiplayer maps.
Both limited edition versions are now available for pre-order at major game retailers, so definitely hoof it on over and put down that deposit if you’re in the market for a cool set of bonus items to go with what’s shaping up to be a pretty hot shooter.
I figured that there’d be some sort of peripheral tie-in to Activision’s upcoming revamped version of Goldeneye and yup, Activision has indeed delivered a cool gold Classic Pro Controller. The pad will ship bundled with the game for a very affordable $69.99, making it an absolute must for those who want a great collectable (or an extra official Wii controller that’s going to work flawlessly right out of the package).
“In addition to the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, GoldenEye will also support the Wii Zapper for ‘point and shoot’ gamers, giving players several ways to experience GoldenEye on Wii,” said David Pokress, Head of Marketing for Licensed Properties, Activision Publishing. “We also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to pay homage to the golden gun with the gold Classic Controller Pro, which looks cool and also gives shooter fans a familiar control scheme to use as they blast their way through the game.”
Goldeneye 007 hits retail this fall exclusively for the Wii – stick around for an actual release date once we get it. Here are four more screens to ogle while you wait…
Two more vignettes from SMSD showing off the great visuals and a bit of fun first-person beat-’em-up action (which works very nicely as a pre-boss battle mini-game, by the way).
Here’s an updated version of that Goldeneye 007 trailer minus the gushy focus group fanboys. Thanks to those that asked for this version (and thanks to Activision for the update).
Here’s a quick peek at a bit of Vulture shock from Activision’s upcoming Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. My hands-on preview is going up shortly. Let’s just say that Quebec-based developer Beenox can really rock the consoles when they get the chance to cut loose and have fun.
Activision's Spider-Man titles have swung high and low over the past couple of console cycles, but the upcoming Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions just might be the ultimate Spider-Man game. Gone are the overly large open-world maps and timed balloon rescue missions, yet levels are definitely big enough to play around in and have a blast with. The four distinct art styles look spectacular and although each Spidey here has the same move set, the different time periods will have players taking a more stealthy approach in one era or going at enemies full-tilt in the next. Canadian developer Beenox has finally gotten to stretch their wings and go all out in terms of visuals with the results coming together into a dynamic, amazingly fluid game that Spidey fans new or old will want to jump right into.
While last year's Tony Hawk: RIDE wasn't perfect, it was quite clear that the development teams behind the peripheral-driven skateboard game were onto something cool. For this year's installment, Tony Hawk SHRED, developers Buzz Monkey (Wii) and Robomoto (PS3/360) have cooked up a much more balanced, fun to play and quite exhilarating game experience that's really looking like a guaranteed winner for board newbies and experts alike.
