It's quite possible it could outsell Blood Stone, since demand appears to be much higher (especially on PS3). But as I said, GoldenEye is going to benefit from both the famous brand name and the fact that Wii gamers are hungry for shooters. Reviews will be a factor, but so far none have appeared for Bond. The crowded marketplace will still be a bigger deterrent, though. Let's pray that both corrupted Bond games from DC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that's more like it.

GoldenEye is getting average reviews so far (around 80%), although reviewers also say the game bears little resemblance to the film. Since Activision didn't have the rights to actually remake GE, they essentially just made a new Bond adventure. (The only real connection to the original game appears to be the multiplayer.) Blood Stone, on the other hand, is shaping up to be a critical disaster: xbox360.ign.com/articles/113/1131346p1.htmlWhile Wii and DS owners are being treated to a re-imagining of one of the most beloved console shooters of all time in GoldenEye 007, Xbox 360 and PS3-owning Bond fans have to make do with a consolation prize in the form of a third-person shooter from Bizarre Creations. And as far as consolation prizes go, this is about as comforting as an open-mouthed kiss from Dame Judi Dench.Ouch! They also complain about a distinct lack of traditional Bond elements, which is somewhat ironic, given the style of the Craig era. (So much for the idea that Craig's films would completely change how people view the world of 007.) Dench and Daniel Craig reprise their roles of M and Bond in Blood Stone 007, while pop singer Joss Stone steps in as the token Bond girl Nicole Hunter. And those are basically the only obligations to the Bond license that this game fulfills.
Otherwise there are no memorable villains, no signature gadgets – even the Bond theme music doesn't properly play until the final credits roll – and the only moment even vaguely resembling any form of fan service is the time you get to briefly step behind the wheel of the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, albeit for no apparent reason. Otherwise this could be any other bog standard third-person shooter with Daniel Craig's expressionless face smeared across it.

GoldenEye (travesty version) and Bloodstone has and needs to need to get more bad reviews.

I'm so going to destroy the travesty version of GE if I see any more good reviews.
