007 Legends
The second mission for 007 Legends has been revealed as On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and I must admit it's a bit surprising. The only Bond film to star George Lazenby as 007, OHMSS was a sweeping spy epic that focused more on espionage than action, but also included Bond's brief, poignant marriage to his beloved Tracy. Over the years OHMSS has become a cult favorite among Bond fans and I'm glad Eurocom saw fit to include and modernize it for the new game.
We're definitely getting the film's iconic snowmobile chases down a treacherous mountain in the Swiss Alps, and we're finally seeing Bond's nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld again, but I wonder if they'll work in the tragic romance between Bond and Tracy that was cut short by an uncharacteristically blunt and brutal drive-by shooting, courtesy of Blofeld. Color me even more intrigued by 007 Legends.

Santa Monica, CA - June 29, 2012- The second of six Bond movie-inspired missions to be featured in this year's upcoming 007™ Legends video game has been revealed as On Her Majesty's Secret Service. A first-of-its-kind Bond video game, 007 Legends features an original, overarching storyline tying together five classic Bond movie-inspired missions plus a sixth mission based on this year's highly-anticipated movie - SKYFALL - which will be available post launch as free downloadable content, to offer the most diverse Bond gaming experience yet! Planned to launch on October 16, 2012, from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard Inc., (Nasdaq: ATVI) 007 Legends equips players with state-of-the-art spy gadgets, an arsenal of weapons and sleek vehicles as they jet off to exotic locations and utilize Bond's quick wits, class and style to take down notorious villains and their brutal henchmen while performing impressive stunts.
True love is hard to find but James Bond has finally found his equal in the beautiful Tracy di Vicenzo, the daughter of European crime syndicate head Marc-Ange Draco - Bond's key contact for tracking down criminal mastermind Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
