Activision announces James Bond 007: Blood Stone is now available in stores for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows, though they are not even pretending the PC edition of Bizarre Creations' new Bond action game is on equal footing with the console editions, as word is:

James Bond 007: Blood Stone is optimized for the Xbox 360 and PS3™ and delivers explosive action leveraging Daniel Craig’s lethal and gritty James Bond in an epic and authentic adventure. Players can engage in cover-based firefights, hand-to-hand combat and speed through explosive adrenaline-fueled driving sequences as they embark on a global chase on land and sea through Athens, Istanbul, Monaco, Siberia and Bangkok. Gamers can also feel what it is like to be a 00 agent, as they take the battle online in several robust 16-person multi-player modes that require skill, teamwork and strategy as players compete in matches that will have spies battling mercenaries.

Joss Stone makes her video game debut as a new Bond girl. She also performed an original song for the game, entitled “I’ll Take it All,” which she co-wrote with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics.

On a related note, the Richard Jacques Interview on UGDB discusses his work on the game's soundtrack.
