    @MACH: You must have finished 'Quantum of Solace' by now since it's a really short game. Would love to read through a review of the same, please.

    Here it goes:
    I am very bad at writing walkthroughs but I wud give a general review from my point of view.
    1.QoS game rounds the movie and tells much above the movie.Bond seeks revenge from the people responsible for killing Vesper and begins down his own mission while using M16 agency contacts and powers though defies and disobeys any orders from M16.Thus the story line of the game has also involved Casino Royale in it.
    2.Activision,Treyarch developed the game while Goldwin Mayor inc. supplied movie storylines.Bond has no ultra mordern equipment here but his Aston MartinV8,Mobile which is used for hacking,maps,objectives and tracking enemies.Guns available are .5mm pistol,Killer7pistol(CR),Magnum revolver,submachine guns,assalut rifles(M14s),machineguns,sniper rifles.
    3.Game begins with the last scene of Casino Royale though in graphics.Movement keys are WASD(standard).Encounter movements involves Cover fire,switch cover,Dash and cover.
    Serious and ultra responsive hacking techniques should be followed otherwise doors wont open for the game to go on.Stealth is a must and thus most weapons can be silenced with silencer key.(default4).
    4.Game follows through 4 stages of QoS story,5 stages of Royale and 1 last stage again of QoS.
    5.Hyperactive action sequences include fire dodge,landslide escape,walking on narrow terrace and window edges.These are of QoS.There is this famous 1st fifteen minutes chase of Casino Royale where Bond chases the bomber.It has all that high adrenaline building jump and crash while combatting neverending groups of assailants.
    6.Another unique virtue of this game is that it involves exclusive hand to hand combat in form of Boxing,Krav maga arts.All the gamer has to do is to place the mouse and click on the highlighted regions of enemy body,Bond does the rest.One can also take down the enemies silently using this technique.
    7.Security cameras can be hacked and should be avoided at all costs otherwise a group of 50 odd guys wud haed to take u down.Inflammable objects help combatting many more enemies.Bond carries only one grenade per mission.
    8.Superb silent sniper jobs are also there which includes taking down some really nasty Guards.
    9.Camille is the female character for the QoS.Vesper is the Female character for the Casino Royale part.One has to play GOD for both the ladies in order to save them in subsequent stages.
    10.Time sequence gameplay is there and u have to complete a job before time is up.The Game has included that sequence where Bond was poisoned in Casino Royale and the gamer has to reach the Aston Martin in given time while shaking and blurring like a drunkard.Combat on moving train tops are also available.
    11.As previously said graphics are not Crysis like but SFX are as good as Medal Of Honor Airbourne.(I use nvidia 8600GT,4GB RAM,2.9 Core2Duo).Especially the last stage Bond plays wearing black sunglasses.Looks absolutely menacing.
    12.Apart from these Unlockables include some graphics videos in game sequence.Anyone please dont forget having a look at opening credits video in this section-It has four Maybachs Chasing the Bond Aston Martin DB9........................some superb car chase with music and Drifting..........thrillllllinggggggg.Multiplayer options availble but online and not LAN unlike Counter Strike.


    I say the Best Bond Game ever having played the Nightfire as the only other Bond Game.Nightfire was huge but low in SFX and thrill.There chills and thrills in this game that only comes with James Bond.007 attitude,arrongance and anger.Thanks.

            • Guys any idea how to get Far Cry 2 running on a Lappy with Core 2 Duo, nVidia GeForce 7400 Go? I m trying to run it. It freezes while it loads the level. Then I get memory dump error. Anyone tried running it on a 7400 Go card?
              Enna Rascalla. Mind it !!!

                Try upgrading your graphics card drivers, that should work. You might not be able to run it with all the settings cranked to the top but it should run, according to me, without any major hiccups!

                  Even nVidia kicked me out when I asked them to give me updated drivers for my 7400 Go. Probably they made it to run mario bros ...and I am talking about the 2D one .

                    You did not find any drivers of the 7400GO on the NVIDIA website, even? Guess it's time to upgrade to something better, eh Leon?

                        • @MACH: According to web reports, it's not before 2009 that Mafia-2 is due for a release.

                          @Kriss: Probably, I will be catching QoS (the movie) tomorrow as well!

                            you will have to keep your lappy either on a big block of ice or liquid nitrogen cooling to run that game on that config..

                            Apar:its slated for 18th nov.

                                Staying with Clive Barker's titles, have you guys played Jericho? Amazing game. A MUST for FPS lovers. If you haven't I do suggest you download a Skullptura rip immediately. A game based on multi-role FPS.
