The newest James Bond games hopes to reinvigorate the franchise with Blood Stone 007. While the game features the likeness and voice of Daniel Craig, it is the first Bond game since 2004 to have an original story. The plot has Bond trying to track down a famous researcher, while encountering a group of terrorists who is thought to have killed Bond’s target.

The game features a unique hand-to-hand combat mechanic and an advanced take-down system. There are also occasional boat and car driving sequences. The level we played had bond driving a boat around a harbor and sneaking onto terrorist boats. There is a good amount of stealth used in this game to hide behind walls and objects while Bond was on these boats. The combat system was something different and added a nice contrast to the usually shooting gameplay.

We were able to get an interview with a spokesperson from Activision about this game. Blood Stone 007 will be available November 2nd for Playstation 3, Xbox360, and PC.
