It's a good time to be James Bond. It's the suave superspy's 40th movie anniversary this year, and this winter's upcoming release of Die Another Day will be the 20th film that's featured the debonair MI6 secret agent. Electronic Arts and MGM are commemorating this momentous occasion by releasing a quartet of 007 games later this year, one for every major platform. And while Bond is no stranger to consoles--developers have been constantly trying to match the level of commercial and critical success received by Rare's GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64--EA's James Bond 007: NightFire will mark Bond's first appearance on the PC.

The game has been in development for nearly a year and a half at Texas-based Gearbox Studios, the company made famous by its work on Half-Life: Opposing Forces and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the PC, as well as its upcoming releases of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and Halo PC. Preview @ Gamespot.
