Telltale Games may be knocking it out of the park, with one series after another – be it The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us and with the recent announcements of Games of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands – but if money were no object, the studio wouldn’t mind making a James Bond title.

That’s according to co-founder Kevin Bruner, who stated to OXM that, “I’m a giant James Bond fan and I’m always frustrated by games that make him a mass murderer. He’s a super-spy, and that’s a different skill-set. The films make him less of a mass murderer, and there’s not much killing in the books – more spying and intrigue.”

The developer is also interested in the idea of original IP, with CEO Dan Connors stating that it’s become “more and more attractive” in terms of creating accompanying comics and shows together with games.

“I think we’re looking more at ‘Can we engage some great storytelling mind to come in and work with us on something and make it not just a game franchise, but a full-on entertainment franchise with comics or a TV show and such and build it all together at once?’ We really see that as the next thing that’s gonna happen.”

Would you be interested in an original IP or even 007 being in a Telltale game? Let us know below.

Activision Publishing have announced 007 Legends. The game will feature Bond’s most iconic and intense undercover missions.

“To honour 50 years of the world’s top secret agent, 007 Legends offers a collection of his most famed moments in the smartest and most treacherous Bond game yet,” says David Oxford, Executive Vice President at Activision Publishing, Inc. “Creating a video game storyline that ties together six popular, yet very different, Bond movie narratives can be challenging, but together with EON Productions, our developer Eurocom, has pulled it off to create a homage that we think will be a unique and highly entertaining Bond video game.”

The game will feature the return of fan-favourite single-player Mi6 Ops Missions, which debuted in GoldenEye 007: Reloaded and challenges players to complete extra missions ranging from all-out action to stealth and gadget-based gameplay and compete for the highest online leader board scores.

007 Legends is being developed by Eurocom and will be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Woah. We are impressed. This is one of the best videos we have ever seen. Love James Bond? Well, guess what? You can do that in Battlefield 3.

The map here is Damavand Peak. You know Base Jumping and all. This will put Just Cause 2 to shame, because this is one of the skilled displays we have ever seen.

MGM studios recently announced that they will be continuing the Bond franchise, with the next installment in the long running series, featuring Daniel Craig, hitting the theaters late 2012.

With this, Hollywood news based website, Deadline.com writes, “Yet another James Bond videogame, which also had been held up because of the uncertainty, recently got the go-ahead.”

Activision recently released two new Bond games- GoldenEye 007 for the Wii and the DS, which was pretty good. And Blood Stone for the HD consoles… which was not so good.

There has been no news on who is working on the new Bond game. Raven, the developers of Singularity, are currently working on a new game in an “established franchise.” It sounds a lot like Call of Duty. But you never know, maybe the next Bond game will be a realistic military based FPS.

Or maybe it will be Eurocom. They certainly showed they do justice to the series with GoldenEye.

We will keep you updated as more info comes our way.

The just re-made classic Goldeneye game has been released for the Nintendo Wii and the music has also been revamped. Former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger does vocals for some of the music in the game. She sings a song originally done by Tina Turner and really does a fabulous job of it. You will notice a new intro to the game compared to the original Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64.  You can listen or download the song right here and she sounds just like Tina Turner.  Here are the lyrics to the songs she covers:

See reflections on the water
More than darkness in the depths
See him surface and never a shadow
On the wind I feel his breath

Golden eye, I found his weakness
Golden eye, he’ll do what I please
Golden eye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You’ll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You’ll never know how it feels to be the one who’s left behind
You’ll never know the days and nights, the tears, the tears I’ve cried
But now my time has come and time, time is not on your side

See him move through smoke and mirrors
Feel his presence in the crowd
Other girls they gather around him
If I had him I wouldn’t let him out

Golden eye, not lace or leather
Golden chain take him to the spot
Golden eye, I’ll show him forever
It’ll take forever to see what I’ve got

You’ll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You’ll never know how it feels to get so close and be denied
It’s a gold and honey trap I’ve got for you tonight
Revenge is a kiss this time I won’t miss
Now I’ve got you in my sight

With a golden eye
Golden, golden eye
With a golden eye, golden eye

Bond is back with the re-make of Goldeneye 007 but unfortunately it is only for Wii…. I think that’s stupid.  This time around the game’s actor has been replaced with Daniel Craig instead of the original N64 version of Pierce Brosnan.  Above is a trailer featuring a little tank Mayhem and destruction.  Developer Eurocom and Publisher Activision are releasing the game November 2nd for the Wii as well as the Nintendo DS.

Activision have released a developer diary for their upcoming Wii and DS First Person Bond Shooter, GoldenEye 007.

Producers Julian Widdows and David Wilson talk about the boss battles of the game, the multiplayer component, and the range of weapons in the game, and any new features- and much more!

Check out the dev diary above.

Peter Collier, part of the development team of Blood Stone, says Blood Stone’s sales will not be eaten up by Black Ops’ sales this Holidays, thanks to the wider audience that James Bond has. “If I were working on another game, or if I were releasing a new IP, I would be worried.

“But because Bond has such a broad appeal and such an aspirational feel about it, fans are certain to buy it,” said Collier.

“We may miss out on the hardcore consumers that will go for Black Ops, but that’s a smaller percentage of the broad audience who like Bond.”

Check out the latest Blood Stone combat trailer, it looks pretty cool.

The all new combat trailer released for Activision’s upcoming 007 title for the PS3, 360 and the PC, James Bond: Blood Stone is… BLOODY AWESOME, YEAH BABY! Oh, yes, the game bears a lot of likenesses to Treyarch’s Quantum of Solace (which, I admit, I liked), but the conbat looks so cinematic and fun, an the visuals… they’re looking great.

I just hope the game has mind blowing driving sections, that would make this a perfect package. Oh well, let’s the wait and watch.
