Everything we learned about Bond 26 this year

007: Nightfire remains a fan favorite since its release way back in 2002. Not only was Pierce Brosnan back in cinemas for Die Another Day, but his puffy CGI face also reached screens at home in Eurocom’s second Bond game. It was almost a tie-in - kids at home could drive the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish on ice, stop satellite weapon systems and deal with double-crossing femme fatales. Sadly no Madonna fencing minigame though. Oh well, it’s about time Joe actually completed it… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tom & Joe continue their look at James Bond games from the past, this time focusing on the PlayStation version of The World is Not Enough. With a return to a first-person perspective, was this the GoldenEye 64 sequel fans were waiting for? ...Foolish sentiment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With the films all reviewed and 007 First Light beaten, Tom & Joe decide to look back at other entries from the long and varied history of James Bond video games. 2005 saw the suprising return of Sean Connery as 007 but don't worry, it wasn't in another off-brand Thunderball remake. No no, he came back to voice 007 in a video game adaptation of 1963's From Russia with Love. How does it hold up? Was EA's final James Bond game a masterful swansong or merely a double-taking pigeon?

007 First Light is finally here and now they’ve completed the main story, Tom & Joe discuss everything they loved - and hated - about it. From the reimagined characters to the gadgets and gameplay, how does IO Interactive’s long awaited James Bond game hold up? And more importantly, can Joe mod it to play as Roger Moore yet?

We're only a few days away from James Bond's long awaited returned to video games in 007 First Light.

Move out of the way vibe check - this is a hype check! After everything we've seen, is it worth pre-ordering? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Compared to more recent years, 2025 has been jam packed with Bond news thanks to the transfer of creative control to Amazon.

Almost five years after its annoucement, IO Interactive have finally revealed some gameplay of the upcoming James Bond video game 007 First Light. We were treated to over 30 minutes of fresh-faced Bond stealthing, driving and exploding his way through a level so the question is - is this shaping up to be the ultimate James Bond video game after 13 long years of waiting since the mess that was 007 Legends? Tom & Joe also briefly discuss their experience playing the tie-in Le Chiffre bonus missions available in HITMAN World of Assassination. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After exhausting all versions of Casino Royale to review, Tom & Joe focus their attention to the biggest piece of James Bond news to be announced in quite some time. The Broccoli family are stepping away from creative control of the franchise and handing the reins over to Amazon. What does this mean for future of James Bond? Will this lead to a new, exciting era for the character where fans finally see some stability and consistency? Or will the e-commerce giant rinse the series for all its worth in an attempt to see returns from its $8.5 billion investment? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From Television City in Hollywood! Before Daniel Craig, before David Niven and even before Sean Connery, we have Barry Nixon as James Bond. A year after the first Bond book, Casino Royale, was published it was adapted as part of the American TV show 'Climax!'. The episode aired in 1954, and has become a bit of an oddity for the Bond franchise. It's one of the few episodes of Climax! that hasn't become lost media, is only available in black and white and shows us an American version of Bond. Tom and Joe apparently have nothing better to do, so are jumping into this adaption to see if it deserves to be better remembered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Casino Royale is too much for one James Bond! Back in 1955, before Dr. No, the film rights to Casino Royale were sold to film producer Gregory Ratoff. This was the start of a long and messy history for the rights to Casino Royale, but it did result in a film adaption being released in 1967. Rather than being a traditional Bond film, it was an ensemble comedy with big names like Peter Sellers, Orson Welles and David Niven. It's not a film that's very well remembered and rarely discussed, but if it's a James Bond film, then Tom & Joe are going to give it a watch. Will they find an interesting piece of Bond history or is it truly best left forgotten? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
