The 22nd Bond film,Quantum of Solace, is out today in the UK (it’ll hit American shores in two weeks on November 14th), and Activision’s companion videogame was also released in Europe today. (It’ll be out in North America on Tuesday, November 4th — which is, of course, Election Day in the United States.)
To celebrate that release, Activision put together a “cover combat” trailer, which you can watch above. It shows off the various moves that Bond has at his disposal when he takes cover. It’s similar to the stuff you can do inGears of War, but Daniel Craig is ten times the man Marcus Fenix is.
In a bit of “why not?” cross-game marketing, you’ll be able to purchase “Another Way to Die,” theQuantum of Solacetheme song by Jack White and Alicia Keys, as DLC forGuitar Hero World Touron next Friday, November 7th. The track will cost $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points).
