DS News | Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
EA's GoldenEye: Rogue Agent continues to impress and build on its early promise and we have the latest screens of the game in action. We're particularly impressed with just how clean it looks in the in-game screens and the mix 'n' match of weapons in each hand also has our trigger-finger itching to squeeze.As a game set in the Bond universe, it's somewhat surprising that it isn't a gadget-fest of typically Bond-esque cutting edge tools but the full-on shoot-'em-up nature of the game sits very ...

DS News | Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
Here are three new images of Electronic Arts' GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, the forthcoming Bond game where you don't actually play as 007 himself. The pics are pre-rendered images - so don't expect the up and running game to look this good - and feature Dr No, Goldfinger and what looks to be an infamous Bond villain's base.Goldfinger is considered by many film buffs to be the best Bond movie and this is in no short measure due to the brilliant character of Auric Goldfinger (not forgetting the silent ...

DS News | Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
Electronic Arts have released the first screenshots of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent and you'll notice they centre around Fort Knox - Oddjob being the obvious clue here.EA's latest Bond first-person shooter takes the novel twist of casting the player as a rogue agent, rather than Mr Shaken-not-Stirred himself. That simple change in context should allow for much more foul play on the part of the player. Will we get the chance to kill Bond? Okay, that isn't going to happen but we envisage a game where ...

DS News | Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
Electronic Arts have released a slew of new details of their new James Bond game - in which you don't actually play as 007 himself. First-person shooter GoldenEye: Rogue Agent instead sees you play as - yes - a rogue agent, dismissed from MI6 for being a rather brutal chap. Not one to miss an opportunity, Auric Goldfinger (the guy from the film) hires you as his enforcer. As such, you become involved in Goldfinger's spat with Dr No and subsequently lose an eye to the good doctor.Now here's the, ...

DS News | Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
Industry rumours this morning suggest that Electronic Arts' next James Bond 007 game may be based on the film GoldenEye. This would mark a return to the 1995 movie that inspired the classic Nintendo 64 title of the same name.While the new GoldenEye reportedly isn't being developed by the team behind the original game, EA must surely be well aware of the classic N64 game's credentials - which, we hope, could influence its next-gen incarnation.However, when probed about the game, Electronic Arts ...

DS News from N4G | Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
DS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - "Nintendo didn't want us to make GTA for kids" - Houser Rockstar vice president Dan Houser has spoken out about how Chinatown Wars will be just as adult as other GTA games when it launches, despite its DS roots.

Talking in the latest issue of EDGE, Houser stated:

"Nintendo wanted us to make GTA, and we wanted to make GTA on their platform. They didn't want us to make a GTA for kids, and we weren't interested in making a game we wouldn't normally make. GTA is about stealing cars and shooting people - how could it not be an 18 rating? You couldn't do GTA without that 18 - it wouldn't feel like it's supposed to feel."

DS - Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - UGO:  Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars details revealed UGO writes: "One of our readers took part in a survey recently about an "upcoming game." The survey featured a series of questions which were surprisingly specific. We can't actually post the survey, but we can transcribe the pertinent questions for your reading enjoyment, as he described them to us. The first handful of questions are pretty innocuous (how old are you, which consoles do you have, etc...). Things start to get good by question 16, though:
