Sean Connery will lend his voice to the latest James Bond videogame.

The Scottish actor, who has starred in six Bond films, will provide the dialogue for a new game version of "From Russia With Love", reports Internet portal Ireland Online.

"As an artist, I see this as another way to explore the creative process. Videogames are an extremely popular form of entertainment today, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all fits together," Connery was quoted as saying.

His character will be joined onscreen by animated versions of others from the original 1963 cast - including Desmond Llewelyn's Q, Robert Shaw's Red Grant and Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny.

The Electronic Arts game is scheduled for release later this year on PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube.
