Q-Branch Preview
Although EA's latest videogame "From Russia With Love" is set in the 1960's, players can still expect some new gadgets and gizmos to assist Bond on his latest adventure.

EA have chosen to keep the period setting from the movie, but will be enhancing some of the technology with modern-day twists.

As well as receiving new toys, players will be able to wander around Q-Branch and witness the development, and in some cases failure, of some of Q's latest ideas.

Above (left to right): The briefcase gun unfolds and unleashes automatic fire against any goon that gets in its way, leaving 007 to stand back in safety. A high powered laser has been fitted to the standard issue watch and is good for taking care of targets, glass windows and locks. The Q-Copter is the latest and greatest gadget, giving Bond aerial reckon into dangerous or unreachable areas, and also the ability to self destruct and take out anyone nearby.

Above (left to right): New sonic cufflinks explode and emit a high powered audio surge that bombard the eardrums of any nearby goon and disorientates them long enough for a surprise attack. The gasmask provides protection against tear gas, as used in the gypsy camp missions. Lastly, opponents can turn on their own team members when hit by a round from the serum gun.

Left: The new weapons and gadget inventory select is a big improvement on the cumbersome and often confusing HUD used in "Everything or Nothing".

You can see all these gadgets in action in the special preview video showcasing the latest Q-Branch technology!
