When you watch a James Bond film, you probably think that he’s the epitome of cool. But if he existed in real life, things would be different though. In fact, you would probably hate his guts.

James Bond is no hero!

1. Secret Agent?

James Bond is the worst secret agent in history because he doesn’t even respect the first rule of a spy : keeping your freakin’ identity secret! Stop telling your name in cocktail parties! If people know who you are, it defeats the purpose of sending you on a mission, dumbass!

2. Womanizer

James Bond is probably one of the worst womanizer out there. He seduces women to get informations, cheats on them just for kicks, and then dumps them for some random girl. Not only that, but on some occasions, he also hits them. Classy!

Meanwhile, Miss Moneypenny dreams of dating him.

3. Luxuries

Good old James sure lives a simple life. He drinks martinis all the time, wears a tuxedo, drives an Aston Martin, plays poker in luxurious Casinos… it must be hard for him! It’s good to know that at least someone is enjoying the good life while his country’s economy is going down the drain.

“For England!”

Adam West

Holy bad casting Batman! Adam West was offered the role in Diamonds are Forever, but he declined because he felt that Bond had to be British.

Burt Reynolds

Same reason for Reynolds, which is sad because James Bond with a ‘stache and curly hair would have been so cheesy.

Mel Gibson

There was a close race between Pierce Brosnan and Mel Gibson.to replace Timothy Dalton. Sadly, we’ll never see what James Bond would have looked like with such a flamboyant hairstyle.

If you’ve been surfing all over the internet for e3 news, you’ve probably heard about it already : Activision are remaking Goldeneye for the Wii…or are they really?

”[…] a new Goldeneye game…” isn’t exactly like saying “We’re remaking Goldeneye”.

It’s not as if EA already tried to scam us with a “sequel”, or that Nintendo cancelled a remake by Rare themselves or anything…

For legal reasons, they can’t use Pierce Brosnan anymore. It’s understandable, but if I remember correctly, they used Sean Connery’s image for From Russia With Love, no?

So how come there’s a double standard here? Isn’t Goldeneye conscidered a “classic” James Bond movie already? Wasn’t it supposed to be the most requested remake? Can’t they put a little more money and effort on this game? Slapping Daniel Craig’s face on the product says a lot about the frame of mind of the eventual game.

Have you noticed how it seems to run like a Call of Duty game? It’s not even the Goldeneye 64 engine, which means that ultimately, the maps will be “kind of” simillar, especially in multiplayer, but the games aren’t the same. No awesome Éric Serra soundtrack, no cold war looking Russian soldiers, no updated N64 sound effects.

So beware, I think Nintendo pulled the Goldeneye card to create some e3 buzz. So far, the Perfect Dark remake on XBL is the next best thing.
