James Bond
What can I say? Working on Bond titles was just a whole lot of fun. A big fan of the Daniel Craig "Bond", there was always something inspiring to work on. Whether it was getting the guns to feel right, the music to follow the action, or the cutscenes to seem larger than life (or at least larger than a handheld) the aim for this title was fun, energy, and creativity.
Similar to the portable versions of Call of Duty, the Bond games featured 800-1000 lines of VO. We were privileged to have both Daniel Craig and Judi Dench feature prominently in our stories.
Each title both had a handful of cutscenes featuring full 3D animation and of course full sound sync. These were a highlight for me being able to do some linear sound design and having them work so efficiently on a handheld.

"The real voices from the actors/actresses are used in Blood Stone 007. This added a layer of realism that made me feel like I was participating in missions. The music is also what gives Blood Stone 007 that espionage feel." -clashentertainment.com
"The game features an entirely unique composition of music that fits perfectly with some of the scenes. The pieces of music played throughout fit the action perfectly and while they are original pieces, they still feel "Bond-like" enough to fit in just right. There is obviously some voice work provided by Judi Dench, Daniel Craig and Joss Stone too, with conversations flowing properly" -vooks.net
"There's dialogue throughout, making a mockery of cartridge size limitations...and the music is superb too." - officialnintendomagazine.co.uk
"Blood Stone is an aural beast, too: in addition to the copious amounts of voice work, the soundtrack composed by Richard Jacques is essentially the same as its HD siblings and an excellent fit for the action." -nintendolife.com

"Os sons também são ótimos. (The sounds are excellent!)" -wii-brasil.com
"The production values are top notch, with full voice acting..." -gamesradar.com
"In terms of the audio, I was somewhat amazed to hear that much of the Wii version’s music was transferred to the DS version. This keeps the whole ‘Bond-esque’ feel to the game as the music is very 007 inspired. As for the sound effects, they too are not bad via the DS soundchip. From guns firing to barrels exploding, all sound pretty darn good." -game-boyz.co.uk
