After snatching the James Bond license out of EA's metallic hands in 2006, Activision has quietly been endeavoring to revitalize the franchise which had recently grown about as tiresome as the films it was based on. Heck, when you get to the point where an invisible car escapes from an ice palace being melted by a space laser, the point of no return is but a speck in the rear-view mirror. Will Activision find the gaming equivalent of Casino Royale?

Speaking at a BMO Capital Markets conference (as covered by GamesIndustry.biz), Activision CEO Bobby Kotick pointed to the N64's GoldenEye as the title that made Ian Fleming's suave spy into "one of the great videogame franchises of all time." He revealed that Activision is currently working on two Bond projects, and that his plan for success involves the obvious: "I think the key to re-energising the Bond franchise is going to be ultimately the highest possible game quality." Make a good game to reinvigorate a franchise full of crap ones -- got it.

I am glad EA doesn't own the 007 series anymore. I hope they can turn it around!

Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough for N64 were both good, but I haven't liked any bond game since.

Well Kitty... to put it bluntly... they all suck. The story, the game play, the HORRID voice acting. They are just really BAD games. The 2 Bond games made my Rare are the best Bond games out there, and one of this is still one of the best 4player/split screen FPS games ever!

the gamplay was very repettitive in every game you did the same things over again, re-playability was quite low. you can only attempt to pwn face so many times before its boring
