Scene: Bob and Fred are sat on a sofa with a Wii Controller and a 360 controller

Fred:: Good evening, welcome to a special edition of scripted gamer

Bob:: (Bob: is humming the james bond theme tune)

Fred:: Today we are pitting two James Bond games head to head against each other and seeing which one will be 007

Bob:: and which one will be 00 doh doh doh I’m sorry but the number you dialled has not been recognised please hang up and try again.

Fred:: so I’ve been playing 007: Blood Stone on the 360

Bob:: And I’ve been playing the far superior 007 Goldeneye on the Nintendo Wii

Fred:: You can’t say that, that’s putting a big bias on your opinion

Bob:: That’s because I am bias Fred:. My game rocks and your game sucks

Fred:: What?

Bob:: Me no sucky, you sucky

Fred:: what do you mean?

Bob:: how else can I put this. My game is sean connery and your game is George Lazenby

Fred:: I’ll have you know that george Lazenby was a great Bon...

Bob:: Let me stop you there Fred:, you see. No 1: George Lazenby was a model and not an actor and he proved that on what is universally considered the worst bond film ever! No 2 I have been playing an update of ‘goldeneye’ correct?

Fred:: well yes that is true

Bob:: And Goldeneye is seen by many, nay most people as the game that defined the modern first person shooter

Fred:: well yes the original Goldeneye

Bob:: and as the update or homegey

Fred:: homa what?

Bob:: Homagey it means you’re paying respect to the original

Fred:: oh you mean homage

Bob:: No I mean homagey, I’m not French Fred:!

Fred:: oh good grief

Bob:: So my game right keeps all the good bits of the original

Fred:: like what?

Bob:: like the harder the difficulty the more objectives there are to do, so it’s worth playing through again as there are new things to do

Fred:: well my game

Bob:: and if you play it on 007 classic mode you go proper old school and have to pick up body armour and stuff

Fred:: ok but in my game

Bob:: and the multiplayer is well fun

Fred:: I’m sure it is but in Blood Stone

Bob:: and best of all you can use the wiimote,or if you’re feeling retro the classic controller, or even the gamecube controller!

Fred:: Yes but my game

Bob:: And

Fred:: WILL YOU LET ME SPEAK YOU STUPID LITTLE INGRATE

Bob:: well that wasn’t very nice now was it

Fred:: Oh now Bob: c’mon

Bob:: No it’s ok you say what you gotta say

Fred:: Now you know I didn’t mean it, but you kept interrupting me

Bob:: I just got so excited about the game. Goldeneye is flipping awesome

Fred:: Well then let me tell you that all those things you said about goldeneye

Bob:: yeah?

Fred:: Do not apply to blood stone!

Bob:: Really?

Fred:: to put it bluntly, it’s rubbish. And there arnt many games I count as rubbish but this is definitely one!

Bob:: Wow, what’s wrong with it!

Fred:: Well for one thing the campaign takes less than 5 hours to get through!, and I’m not willing to shell out 40 quid for a 5 hour game. The multiplayer is average but it’s always going to lose out to the first person multiplayers

Bob:: So my game wins just like I said

Fred:: it certainly does Bob:! For once the wii is triumphant

Bob:: Goldeneye is licence to thrill

Fred:: and bloodstone is licence to bin!

Bob: and Fred:: We’ve been the scripted gamers goodnight.
