James Bond

SPECTRE marks the 24th (holy shit really?) 007 film in a franchise that has been around for well over fifty years. One of the coolest things about this series is that the movies having been made every few years between the 60's and today, have a crazy amount of diversity, while it also managing to follow many of the same tropes. Basically this makes for a perfect drinking game, especially if you have a vodka martini.

Hey, it's my first game for a video game, so I might as well do the best series of all time. Seeing as this is a franchise older than I am, and has been reinventing itself for decades on half a dozen consoles I've decided to put more of an emphasis from tropes from the 64 games onward. That in no way means this game won't work for the 2D games, you should still get a good buzz. And for the love of god, don't play the CDI games.
