James Bond, Videogame Hero
Free short talk by James Newman of Bath Spa University and GameCity festival director Iain Simons of Nottingham Trent University
One of the best-loved characters in contemporary popular culture, James Bond is best known from novels and movies, yet for the past 20 years Mr Bond has lived a double life as a videogame hero. Videogames studies scholars Prof. James Newman and Iain Simons eject from their Aston Martin to give an entertaining and illuminating account of the history of making Bond interactive. Expect a cocktail of music, action and cultural theory - shaken but not stirred, of course.
