LiVEcence to Kill

There have been rumours that Bond, James Bond is coming to XBLA. Thankfully Domark and EA are nowhere to be seen. The rumours are of course about RARE's epoch-making first-person shooter, Goldeneye.

Unlike some game rumours this one carries a lot of weight in the same way that a wet paper bag doesn't. Those driving the rumour claim that the game is just a couple of months away from completion but sadly the last of the rumours, so far, states that the game has now been shelved because Microsoft and Nintendo could not come to an agreement over money. Someone somewhere is possibly overlooking the fact that Activision currently own the 007 licence and would also want a slice any remakes of Goldenpie.

Remarkably Microsoft have been drawn into commenting on the speculation adding further weight to the rumours. They said, "We don't comment on rumours and speculation." Bah! Thanks for sharing that Bill! More interesting though, and fanning the smoke that's hiding the flames, Microsoft then added that, "While the games community's response to this rumour is extremely flattering, we don't have anything to announce at this time." At this time!

The fact that Goldeneye is constantly discussed by gamers, on every forum I've ever visited, and has been the most requested game since Xbox Live launched must mean that Goldeneye will, eventually, arrive. It just has to be a question of when, not if.

There is something you can do to help. Oh yes! Pile the pressure onto those miserable corporate types that just want to spoil our fun by signing the Goldeneye re-release petition HERE. 22,196 gamers have already signed.

We want Goldeneye! Sign, sign, sign, SIGN!! Oh, and visit the Gameov3r FORUM too.

Remember these Bond "classics"? ... ... They might be amongst the Wii C64 re-releases soon!
