Reading some of those opinions reminded me of my attitude when I heard that the Bond franchise was to be 'rebooted'. They were going to take away the gadgets, and car chases, and explosions, and basically all the things I thought I loved about Bond. They were going to strip all this away to let us see the real Bond. I was really cynical about the whole thing. I thought it wasn't broke, don't try to fix it.

Now I'm not sure who has seen Casino Royale here, but its undoubtedly one of the best Bond films made. I freely admit that I was wrong. More than that, I also like it more than the old style Bond films. Looking back, they're fun, but horribly repetetive, and don't exactly do much in the way of character development. Seeing Casino Royale, I realised that this was a better way, even if there was no way I could conceive of it before.

I'm hoping that this will be the case with SC:C. Though it is hard to envisage how it will be a SC game in the classic sense, I hope that when it is released I will play it and find it as fresh and exciting as I found Casino Royale, even though I thought I just wanted another Goldeneye.
