That is a very, very bold statement. Have you played:

It's absolutely awful. Seriously, your first task in the game is finding a hammer for some random guy working on a bridge. That is not something James Bond does...

Did you see Die Another Day? Any game that even rips off the cover art of that particular stinker should be considered a serious contender for worst.

Yes. I actually like it, and I think that it is Pierce Brosnan's second-best Bond movie (after GoldenEye, of course). I enjoyed it the way I enjoy some of the Roger Moore movies. (You know...the ones with undersea bases, flying cars, etc.)

IMO, the worst James Bond movie is Octopussy. It is just so boring.

EDIT: I'm just going to rank them!!!!

Yeah, I'm gonna try for it. I used some saved up Amazon reward points a few days ago to get some of the harder to find Wii U games, and that was one of them. The Wii U additions I'll be adding through the next week or so will be part of that reward points usage.

Very nice. It shouldn't be a terribly hard set to complete. I thought about it but there is still too much shovelware in there.

I also thought about it too, but there are too many relatively pricey ports of games I have on other systems (e.g., Assassin's Creed III, Call of Duty Ghosts, etc.). I also agree that there is too much licensed shovelware.

I actually went through all the James Bond movies again in 2015 I think it was. Let me tell you... it was TAXING. The series is like 50/50 straight down the middle. I was a huge fan growing up because of the TNT November marathon's and such, but yeah. Every Bond actor has a weak spot and in some movies were on autopilot.

I have a soft spot for Moore still though, haha.

I watched them really out of order, but that probably helped. Really I think the critical issue is that all the movies were 120 minutes, when probably over half of them could have been 90 minutes.

Just pre-ordered 3 of the 4 big Japanese releases for tomorrow, all digital

I was gonna buy that new Tales of Berseria game, until I heard about the controversial censorship. The censored version of that scene is ridiculous. It's typical, over the top, anime bullshit, while the original scene is more visceral and grounded in reality. In fact, I think the original scene should have been more graphic. I have a zero tolerance policy towards censorship

Is that censorship really that big a deal? I mean, it's kinda stupid, but it's not like the kid doesn't still get impaled. I certainly don't see that as a deal-breaker for buying the game at some point.

I wonder, too, if it was a way to get around some age rating stuff. Don't know if that would have pushed it into "M" territory, but who knows?
