The Spying Game
The latest Bond film has seen the world of cloak and dagger step back into the limelight, just when we thought the Cold War was consigned to history. But then again, for Oxbridge the spying game has never really gone away. Bond himself has had many Oxbridge links, as his liaisons with a college tutor at the start of Tomorrow Never Dies showed. The eponymous Cambridge spies have made their mark on our modern history. Oxbridge, as we all know, is a fertile recruiting ground for spies....

Features: Back from the dead
At the start of this game you are dead. Not, admittedly the most congenial of circumstances but one you're beginning to live with. At least until the sorcerer, Sardok, decides to summon you back into the world of the living as a Revenant (apparently some minor sub-species of undead).
