Officially revealed this week,GoldenEye 007: Reloadedis Activision’s latest attempt at capturing gamers’ attention with the James Bond franchise. But can it deliver?

Based on this reveal trailer and the first batch of screenshots, I’m not entirely sold. Granted, I’ve not seen or played a single second of the game for myself, so the verdict is still out. But if these first glimpses of the game are supposed to get me excited, I’m finding it hard to muster more than a shrug.
