You can't keep that Bond guy down. After countless movies, a tall stack of books and a bevy of games, Bond is making another apperance soon, in Quantum Of Solace.You have to hand it to the guy -- Bond's managed to keep fans entertained since the early 1950's. Quite the stretch!
Based on the upcoming Bond film of the same name, the Quantum of Solace game will be coming in the fall for pretty much every platform: PC, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, Wii, and the DS.
Four different developers (Treyarch, Beenox, Eurocom and Vicarious Visions) are working on the different versions of the game, so it'll be interesting to see what they all come up with.
The Xbox and PS2/3 versions will be built upon the engine that powered the best-selling Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
