What's your favorite James Bond video game?
IO Interactive finally unveiled the first look at 007 First Light, which looks like a welcome return for the spy franchise to the world of gaming. It also got me reflecting on the various James Bond games of the past, and while GoldenEye might seem like the obvious answer to which is the best, my favorite is either Everything or Nothing, or From Russia with Love. Both produced by EA Redwood Shores, the 2004 game featured a nice mix of new mechanics and familiar elements from previous titles, while also offering a new story for Pierce Brosnan's version of Bond. The 2005 game, meanwhile, gave some great changes to the Sean Connery film while also recreating some iconic segments that, with a similar gameplay style to Everything or Nothing, made for a great time.
I just got way more confident that Jurassic World Rebirth is going to continue the franchise's box office success.
The Jurassic franchise is inarguably one of the biggest in cinematic history, with every prior installment being a box office hit. I'll it, I've had my doubts about Jurassic World Rebirth's potential success, in part because I feel like I don't know if the franchise should return so soon after Dominion underwhelmed me, but also because July is a very full month with blockbuster releases. However, a new report indicates they not only reined in the budget compared to prior movies, but that the movie may have been made for as low as $180 million, the cheapest since Jurassic Park III's $93 million price tag. Given Gareth Edwards' history in VFX, I have no concerns about Rebirth's visuals with the lower budget, as Monsters and The Creator showed he can make a lot with a little, and with a lower bar to clear at the box office, I have no doubt the next Jurassic World will keep the franchise's box office success streak alive.
Nintendo delaying the live-action Legend of Zelda movie actually gives me a lot of faith in it.
The Legend of Zelda live-action movie has pushed its release date back a couple months, now set for a May 7, 2027 arrival, and while this would normally make me worried about a movie's chances at getting made, I actually have a lot more faith in it since Nintendo appears to have had a big hand in the delay. Shigeru Miyamoto himself announced it on Twitter and said they want to "take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be", which after The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a welcome relief, especially since Zelda is going for live-action, a much trickier one to pull off with the fantasy setting of the games.
