James Pond returns
There's a news headline we didn't expect ever to be writing.
James Pond, one of the colourful cast of characters that dominated the early 90s of gaming, has returned to the gaming stage in a brand new game on iOS: James Pond in the Deathly Shallows.
While the groan-worthy title might seem another quick and easy nudge to the Harry Potter franchise, it's not without precedent. The character was originally created as a fishy riff on James Bond when his first game was published by EA back in 1990. The sequel was subtitled Robocod and incased the secret agent in a stretchable metallic body, while the third game was a nod to Flash Gordon.
Deathly Shallows returns him to his secret agent guise and going up against old foe Doctor Maybe, and returns to the underwater sections from the first game.
James Pond in the Deathly Shallows is available from the App Store for 59p.
