GI Show 129: Bond Games, Skylanders Giants




The Game Informer Show show

Summary: In this week's episode, we discuss james Bond's legacy in games and why no game has truly captured the essence of 007. We also talk about the latest Skylanders game. In the first segment, we use the disappointing 007 Legends as a jumping off point to talk about James Bond's history in games. The iconic spy has had an inconsistent relationship with video game, starring in classics like GoldenEye and a host of disappointments. Host Matt Helgeson is joined by Tim Turi, Andy Reiner, and Ben Reeves as we speculate on why no game has really done justice to the franchise, and what the ultimate Bond game would look like. In the second segment, Reiner returns to talk Skylanders Giants, the latest in Activision and Toys for Bob's commercial game/toy blockbuster series. (Please visit the site to view this media)
