With their new James Bond game coming out next year plus plans to make a series out of the Bond franchise, Activision decided not to get Daniel Craig as the face of their James Bond. Daniel Craig's a big star - it'll be hard to fit sessions of dialog recording into his busy schedule, he'll have Bond movies to shoot - all that and he's expensive, too. So instead, we'll be getting Adam Croasdell.

Activision has revealed that a new entry in its James Bond game franchise has been delayed to 2010. This announcement was made by Activision CFO Thomas Tipple in a conference call with investors today.

So will Quantum of Solace be the next big Bond game after GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64? While everyone's still hoping for Rare's classic FPS to his online networks (XBL, VC, PSN?), this looks promising nonetheless. Here's a launch trailer that Activision's released in anticipation for the game's impending release. Yay for Dame Judi Dench! (They should get her to do more voice-over narrations in video games, I swear...)

Quantum of Solace has received an official release date from Activision. Expect the game to hit shelves on November 4. Better get yourself a pre-order as well; those who do will get access to a multiplayer map pack for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Since the game runs on the same engine as Call of Duty 4, I'm betting that map pack's worth getting. More details after the link.

There's more than a month to go before Quantum of Solace (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, DS, Wii, PC) comes out, but Activision's 2009 game lineup has revealed that a new James Bond game is already slated for release next year along with three new IPs. More in the full article.

If you liked Call of Duty 4, chances are, you might like Quantum of Solace even better. In fact, the developers under Activision have taken their CoD4 engine and built on that to make this upcoming 007 title. In the full article, you get to see a  quick developer's diary that features the technical improvements the made to the CoD4 engine: AI and third-person combat!

Wanna get a Behind-the-Scenes look at the smoking hot double-OH-seven movie-turned-game, Quantum of Solace (Xbox 360, PS3, DS, Wii)? Not to worry, we have exactly that for you. Check out the video after the jump.

Activision is getting ready to launch its Quantum of Solace game in time for the James Bond movie of the same name's debut later this year. We're now being treated to some of the first gameplay footage in the title and we're getting some details on the gameplay mechanics. Watch the video after the jump and tell us what you think.

Players don't like it when a game that they've been waiting for ends up being canceled. Take the case of the XBLA version of GoldenEye007, for instance.

With rumors of the title's cancellation at Nintendo's hands, is it any wonder that Microsoft claims that its rival holds "more than just influence" over the game's licensing rights?  More on Microsoft's views regarding the matter, right after the jump.

Beenox studios has ported games such as Spider-Man: Friend or Foe (PS2, PS3, PSP, DS, Wii, Xbox 360) and Shrek The Third  (Wii, Xbox 360, PC, PS2, DS, GBA) to multiple formats. Well, the company has been tapped by Activision once again. This time, they're going to be working on a port of James Bond 007 for the Wii.
