If you’re big on FPS games you’ll agree, GoldenEye revolutionized the genre on the consoles for the better. Well here we are now, 10million and one Bond games later, with some dissapointing news.

Activision has recently announced that a new Bond racing title won’t hit the shelves until 2010. But why Activision?

Well, according to CFO Thomas Tippl, they are avoiding competition with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which, we all know, is sure to make a killing. Smart move Activision.

Quantum of Solace To Be Released November 4th

September 22nd, 2008 No Comments   Posted in FPS, Xbox 360

With almost a month and a half until the next installation in the James Bond series, Quantum of Solace, fans will be glad to hear that they will be able to get their hands on the game on November 4th. This means they can play it an entire week and a half before they watch the film (spoiling essentailly any plot twist in the process). Activision, the publisher for the game, has also revealed a preorder promotion for the game. Anyone who preorders the game at GameStop, for PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360, will recieve a complementary token which will give them access to a free map pack. Anyone who hates GameStop with a passion wont be left out of the preorder deals. For anyone who preorders the Quantum of Solace game at Best Buy will get a ten dollar discount on any James Bond DVD. Anyone who wants a James Bond VHS, however, is out of luck.

Quantum of Solace will be available on all current consoles, the PlaySation 2, PC, and the Nintendo DS.
