Ive actually played it a little and do not think its a brilliant game, i didnt like driving the car it was awful imo. The auto focus thing i dont like (i thought it be like splinter cell conviction its not) and your smart phone tells you where to go and where your enemies are. Also too many cut scenes for my liking but if you can play a demo first then i recommend you do that my opinion could be different to someone elses.

I read little tidbits about it, but I saw an ad for it last night (I didn't even realise it was out this week!). It looked ok, but I hope there's at least a demo.

<<snipped>>

I am interested in this game but way they handled with Blur after it was released left a sour taste so I'll probably give it a rent or buy as a present for someone when it is cheaper!

Seems like Goldeneye will always be the best Bond game ever released. Too bad it's only coming to Wii (though the N64 original is still better in my mind despite the positive reviews). I thought Everything or Nothing was prolly the second best Bond game.

Agreed. the Quantum of Solace video game was the best Bond game since the obvious best which was GoldenEye on N64.

No!

Everyone seems to be forgetting James Bond: Everything or Nothing which was actually pretty good.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-2/james-bond-007-everything-or-nothing Scored 84 on Metacritic but I had the game on Xbox, was pretty good fun.

hmm made by the same guys who made project gotham racing... no wonder the vehicular parts are so good

maybe there ought to be some dlc which puts in multiplayer vehicular modes or something, i can see that the flexibility of the game engine they are using gives it alot of potential...

yeah with my combined love for PGR4 and Quantum of Solace there was no way i was missing on this...so got it yesterday. SP looks OK, but MP is great. hope the community lasts for a few months, at least. QoS had awesome MP and a very good SP campaign, plus the COD engine. Blood Stone seems to be trying something a little different, even if it's more third person shooter by the numbers.

Is that a joke?

The vehicle parts are the worst thing about the game the cars handle like crap, i clipped a bit of the scenery and the car spun about 20 times, and each sequence is very scripted so much so that the complete level is 1 narrow path all the way to the end.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
