EA has finally officially announced the new James Bond game Gearbox is working, James Bond 007: NightFire. Besides the PC, the game will appear on the PS2, Xbox and GameCube though Gearbox will not be porting the game. The game will be released late this year.

NightFire will feature an original single player storyline -- written exclusively for the game and borrowing from the rich 007-legacy that spans 40 years.

NightFire features more than 10 exotic locations from around the globe and outer space.

NightFire will also offer an all-star cast of villains and allies, both new and familiar to the Bond universe. ...
