Bond, James Bond. These words have become classic over the years and the Bond series is one of the greatest and longest running series of all time. This years' version, Casino Royale, had the Bond faithful a bit nervous. Pierce Brosnan is no longer playing the James Bond role. This year Daniel Craig takes his turn as Bond, and this had many people skeptical. "He's too blonde!" people feared. Get over it people, this Bond kicks ass.

Casino Royale takes us back to the beginning of Bond, before he had a license to kill. In this film, we get to see Bond gain his '00' status and we see Bond as he learns how to become, well, James Bond. This movie opens up with a bang.

The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond money. The game takes many twists and turns leaving you on the edge of your seat to find out what happens next, I won't ruin the ending for you.
