Fleming'sĨth Bond publication opened with the short story "From A View To On the 11th of April, 1960, Jonathan Cape published Ian Fleming'sĬollection of short stories entitled For Your Eyes Only. This platform style game, the first Bond video game ever, featured a mere three levels.

That same year, Domark began its series of James Bond tie-in games for Commodore, among other platforms. However Moore's final outing as Bond bore very little resemblance to Fleming's short story. Let's hope IO Interactive can break the mould of a history of mediocre video games and leave their own positive mark on the franchise.Come 1985 EON Productions released "A View To A Kill", borrowing an Ian Fleming title for their film but dropping the "From" to make it more succinct. The game still doesn't have a release date, but just from looking at the studios previous work and the concept of the story, it seems James Bond has the chance to shine again in a wholly unique video game. In their brief description of their upcoming game, Project 007 is said to be the first "James Bond origin story" that has players earning their double 0 status. IO Interactive is a beloved studio, known for their quality output of games and the passion put into their work. The game was announced almost a year ago in a teaser video from IO Interactive, the studio behind the recent Hitmantrilogy of games.
After a long hiatus, James Bond is set to return to video games with a working title of Project 007 (TBA). This vast history of James Bond games has finally brought us here. Because of that, the game received poor reviews, and a James Bond game hasn't been released since. It was an interesting premise, but the execution wasn't all there. To coincide with Skyfall's theatrical release, the game saw Craig's Bond living out the adventures from films before his tenure as the 007 agent. Bond's last game before going on hiatus would be 007 Legends. Moreover, the final product was a somewhat generic first person shooter akin to something like Call of Duty. While it received better reviews than some of the previous games of the 2000's, it was unable to live up to the glory days of the game it was based upon. Replacing Brosnan Bond with Craig Bond and giving the game a graphical upgrade, there was true potential for GoldenEye 007 Remake to recapture the magic of the original. Activision saw the potential in remaking the original GoldenEye, and did just that with their remake. These included GoldenEye 007 Remake (2010), James Bond 007: BloodStone (2010), and 007 Legends (2012). This last era of James Bond video games saw the level of output decrease, with only a handful of games released around this time.
Much like the film, though, it didn't exactly garner the most positive of reviews. This era also saw the first Bond video game to feature Daniel Craig's portrayal of the titular spy in 2008's Quantum of Solace video game, an adaptation of the film of the same name. The multiplayer and cooperative gameplay featured in some of these games made them successes, however after all was said and done in this era of Bond video games, there was nothing that came close to the level of success that the franchise had found in the 90's. Each game around this time had different levels of success, especially The World is Not Enough, which had been praised mainly for emulating what had worked so well with GoldenEye 007.

Each of these were under Electronic Arts who had the license at the time, and each tried something a little different. The decade saw the release of titles such as The World is Not Enough (2000) James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing (2003), GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004), James Bond 007: From Russia with Love (2005), and 007: Quantum of Solace (2008), to name a few. The 2000's never quite saw the heights that the 90's did with GoldenEye 007, although there certainly was an effort to recapture that energy with how many games released around this time.
