Young Bond: Somehow Less Appealing than Older, Wiser Bond

We do love a game with a snappy title like Avenue of Death. Put together by UK-based TAMBA, the object of the game is to guide Young Bond through a series of death traps. The game is a promotion for Hurricane Gold, a Young Bond book that’s just recently come out.

Enter your score on the leaderboard and you could win “an exclusive piece of original Young Bond artwork, signed by Charlie Higson and Kev Walker.”

After a quick run-through, we decided there’s really nothing Bondian about the game at all. If anything, it brings Prince of Persia to mind. And when we fed our little hero to the big snake, he just stood there until the snake woke up and ate him. Then he screamed like a girl.
