No name is more synonymous with spy thrillers than James Bond. Throughout the decades of films, we’ve seen various iterations of Bond take on the wildest of foes and accompanied by the most pun-named women around until recently where the series started taking more of a hard turn over the last two decades. Along those same lines, while there was practically a James Bond video game releasing almost every year for a while during the late ’90s and early ’00s, it has been quiet for quite some time for the familiar spy. So much in fact it seemed that it was time for not only a fresh take on James Bond, but also handing his care over to perhaps the best team to craft a game all about infiltrating, discovering clues, and even taking out targets if need be, IO Interactive. After a fourteen year disappearance the Hitman developers have brought forth a new James Bond in 007 First Light, looking to bring their own style to the flair that the suave spy has to offer. The question is, was this a perfect partnership or one leading towards a failed mission?
