Blood Stone 007 is an action game developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Activision for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Telling an original James Bond story entirely separate from the film series, the game features the voices and likenesses of Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, and Joss Stone. Bizzare Creations had a lot to overcome when undertaking this project: they are more well known for their racing games (Project Gotham Racing series) than their action efforts (The Club), and the highly anticipated Goldeneye 007 on Nintendo Wii shared the same release date.
