Daniel Craig

At E3 gamers were elated at Activision’s news that they were bringing back GoldenEye.  Even the Wii exclusivity of the game didn’t annoy gamers since they were going to be playing a game that is regarded amongst gamers as one of the best and most influential games ever made.  But there are still some doubters who aren’t entirely aboard the GoldenEye bandwagon, mainly since the game is a complete re-imaging and not a simple HD remix/small reboot of Rare’s classic game.

Awhile back we got a few tidbits on an upcoming James Bond game titled James Bond: Blood Stone. While nothing more than a retailer listing was available, it was believed that this was the 007 racing game that developer Bizarre Creations was working on. Many (myself included) also thought that this would be the 007 game to feature actor Adam Croasdell who publicly revealed that he voiced 007 in an upcoming game.  Well today we’ve finally been briefed on 007’s latest mission and it sounds quite awesome.

Today James Bond fans across the world are probably shedding a tear. Thankfully Bond actors Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig and George Lazenby have not passed away.  The troubling news is that the next Bond film, the 23rd in the series, has been postponed indefinitely.

In a move that shouldn’t really surprise us it seems like actor Daniel Craig will not be reprising his role in Activision’s upcoming James Bond game.  While Craig will still assume the Walther PPK and sharp suit for the next James Bond film he’s skipping out on the next game engagement either due to conflicting schedules or perhaps because he’s not too keen on acting in a video game.
