    Originally delayed from a mid-March release in both the UK and US, the Sony PSP platform of the newest Electronic Arts (EA) James Bond 007 game, From Russia With Love, starring Sean Connery as agent 007 is now shipping in the UK. The PSP edition of the Bond game was previously released in the US on 4 April. It has so far met with mixed reviews, much like the console platform.

    The game can be ordered from amazon.co.uk for a discounted price of £29.99. As IT News reports, ‘Players can invest in their character and customize the ultimate Bond for a whole new level of gameplay options, including an all new single player mode consisting of 8 exciting missions, multiplayer mode with ad-hoc wireless, 16 new Bond challenges, several new unlockable Bond villains and classic Bond gadgets and weapons.’
