007 Gamer Is 1 Year Old Today

Can you believe it's been a year already? I can’t!

I would love to say 007 Gamer has come a long way within this time, but really, it hasn’t. All I’ve done is a small site upgrade (within the boundaries of Blogger, of course) and a lot of posts about/related to 007’s video game adventures.

Celebrations aside, I thought I would use this post, or at least the remainder of it, to discuss the future of 007 Gamer.

The current form of 007 Gamer is a starting point for my James Bond dream. I would eventually like to see 007 Gamer operating on a much larger scale. At this stage of the game though (mind the pun), Blogger is fine. I’m still formulating the writing style, and as you would have seen in another recent post, I’ve decided to take a more subjective approach to this site from now on - offering opinions on the latest James Bond video game news, rather than just regular coverage of it. 

Looking towards the future once more, if all goes to plan, this time next year 007 Gamer will be functioning under a proper web address and site. That’s pretty much it for now. At the very least though, by next year I hope to have come up with an official logo for the site. It needs to be timeless and incorporate James Bond and video games somehow as you probably guessed. It’s a tough one if you actually start thinking about it.

Anyway, I’ll leave it at that for now and continue on with E3 007 Legends news posts. Thanks to everyone so far who has taken the time to read an article or two on 007 Gamer.

Just a little bit clueless - 007 Gamer

A Stealthy Appearance From 007 Legends At E3 2012

007 what?

That pretty much sums up the coverage of 007 Legends at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo.

You know, it’s just a little depressing considering the fact it’s the 50th anniversary of the Bond franchise this year and not even Sony or Microsoft could be stuffed covering Legends during their own lengthy press conferences. Sony was wrapped up in first-party affairs and Microsoft was too busy showing the world the new Call of Duty game.

Seriously though, who should we really be blaming for this? Activision, of course!

They were pretty much a no show at this year’s E3. They didn’t hold a conference like the other big players in the industry and when they did speak up it was mainly about the new COD or Skylanders.

Activision, and the video game media in general, have let us Bond fans down this year. The coverage of 007 Legends was basically little to none. I personally followed all of the big conferences and not once did I hear a mention of the new Bond video game. I also managed to keep up with the media’s coverage and not once was there a mention of "Daniel Craig" or "James Bond".

A few weeks on and I’ve managed to dig up a bit of stuff about 007 Legends at this year’s E3. I’ve found an interview, some game play footage and some new screenshots and trailers. Keep an eye on 007 Gamer as the page slowly floods with catch-up coverage of 007 Legends at E3 2012.
