    I must say I am not too surprised if this is the case. Activision in the last five or so years seems to have lost touch with gamers, apart from the die hard Call of Duty fans. Nearly every James Bond game that they put out was almost always released around Christmas time which is a busy time of year for game publishers, since many people purchase games as presents for family members. Usually this time of year is when established franchises or original ideas tend to sell more units at retail and as a result many games including licensed titles (like Bond)often get forgotten about by gamers as a result.

    I hope that the next publisher that gets the license from MGM/EON productions treats it with the respect deserves and not only make the games playable they also market the games better.
