“From Russia with Love” is without doubt one of the finest James Bond video video games. Sean Connery made a uncommon return to the long-lasting character by contributing his voice to the EA Redwood Shores (now Visceral Video games) recreation. The truth that EA Redwood Shores received Connery again to voice Bond appears miraculous now. Having him contribute to one thing new within the 007 medium was an unbelievable accomplishment on EA’s half.

The 2005, third-person shooter online game is as entertaining because the traditional Bond movie it’s primarily based on. I preferred how the sport used parts from the later movies, just like the jet pack from “Thunderball,” and the Aston Martin DB5 that was launched in “Goldfinger.” Leisure Arts ought to have produced one other Bond recreation with Connery’s youthful likeness as Bond; nonetheless, they misplaced the rights to Activision in 2006.

I actually loved utilizing the laser watch within the “From Russia with Love” recreation. You used the wristwatch to penetrate bulletproof glass and destroy management panels. The watch within the recreation seems like Bond’s Rolex Submariner 6538. In the course of the nice motion of the sport, it’s type of tough to see an up-close picture of the traditional wristwatch, but it surely seems like the long-lasting Submariner 6538 to me.

Within the scene in the beginning of “Goldfinger,” when Connery, wearing a white tuxedo, friends down at his Rolex Submariner, it might have been some of the blatant product placements in a movie. I’ve at all times puzzled what number of Rolex Submariners have been offered as a consequence of that fast shot in “Goldfinger” when Connery steadily lights up the face of the wristwatch along with his lighter.

I’m positive there have been 1000’s of males who noticed that watch in “Goldfinger” and went on to a jeweler. I’m positive a Rolex was as costly in 1964 as they’re right this moment, adjusted price, after all. The Rolex Submariner 6538 has turn out to be such an iconic watch due to Bond. Nearly sixty years after the discharge of “Goldfinger,” Rolex continues to be the final word luxurious watch. There’s Tag Heuer and Richard Mille, however Rolex looks like a traditional, similar to James Bond.
