There have been as many Bond games as there have films. There have been as many developers for those games as there have been Bond actors. From the sublime in Goldeneye to the below average Nightfire. There hasn't exactly been a dreadful game, but fans of the films set the bar high when it comes to the games.

There is also a taster for the upcoming Skyfall as an added bonus.

Schlock can even be appealing, a cheap thrill as you hazily delve into the budget DVDs during a post-pub drinks run at the petrol station. But Conduit 2 is not a B-movie and one cannot escape that curious feeling that Conduit 2 takes itself more seriously than you could possibly believe, and asks the same of you.
