Bond fans get a double dose of super smooth spy action this year with not one but two Bond adventures. While Nintendo owners got a taste of nostalgia from the N64 era with GoldenEye, everyone else with a PC got some non-film Bond action in the form of...

Bond’s latest adventure comes in a year without a feature film, and side-by-side to the re-release of GoldenEye on the Wii. Blood Stone is its own story and game, only taking the likeness and voices of Daniel Craig and Judi Dench as Bond and M from...

Thanks to MGM’s financial trouble we will not be seeing another James Bond film until 2012, and it has already been two years since Quantum of Solace. Activision and Bizarre Creations have stepped up to fill the void with James Bond 007: Blood Stone,...

Zunächst einmal die gute Nachricht: Blood Stone macht deutlich mehr Spaß als sein Vorgänger. Die abwechslungsreichen Schauplätze und die coolen Rennabschnitte lassen unser Fan-Herz schneller schlagen. Leider trüben das abwechslungsarme Gameplay und...

Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, dass in „James Bond 007: Blood Stone“ zwar wirklich Frauen, Autos, viel Action, Daniel Craig mit einem durchgehend gleichen Gesichtsausdruck, Martini und MI6 Leiterin "M" vorkommen, dies aber dem Titel trotzdem nicht...

Blood Stone ist ein grundsolider Actiontitel, der Bond-Fans durchaus gefallen dürfte, trotz ein paar Schwächen über die man aber hinwegsehen kann. Allerdings ist das Spiel für das Gebotene einfach noch zu teuer. Echte Agenten sollten sich daher noch...
