Update: Added a second trailer that shows additional footage.

I suppose this doesn’t need much of an explanation At first it takes a minute or so to see, and the N64 obviously needs to be at a certain angle. But the ears on the side, nose by the eyes, mouth, everything – It’s all there!

Thanks to Kyle for the tip!

HMV has listed James Bond: Bloodstone on their website, hinting that an announcement from Activision is on the way. The listing states that the game is in development for Wii, as well as the PS3 and Xbox 360. Strangely though, the title is supposedly in the racing genre. Bizarre Creations has been rumored to be developing a new James Bond project since 2008 that would mix driving elements with first-person or third-person gameplay. Might Bloodstone be that game? Only time will tell!

In the last part, I took a look at various Nintendo series of games and worked out based on Metacritic scores what the best five franchises were. This time we’re going to take a look at the absolute worst series.

My way of categorizing games seemed to confuse a few people so I’ll start this second and final part by clarifying a few things. I used Super Smash Bros.’ way of categorizing series as a basis, attributing each game to a specific character. While some games feature more than one character (like Mario vs. Donkey Kong) or some don’t play like other games in their series at all (Super Princess Peach), they all share similar attributes and take place in the same universe, so I’d classify all of them as “Mario” games. The Mario series in particular is so massive that I had to include some spin-offs like Mario Kart or Mario Party as separate franchises. I’m probably boring a lot of people, so anyone who wants to know more specifics, just read the rules I outlined in the last part.
