"007: Agent Under Fire" is the game you're thinking of, but I've come
across at least two others ("Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell" and something
else - some Mecha game).

Yeah, I got my Xbox from that very shop a few months back and it's still
going fine - although I have not modded it. I was planning on getting a
second one to mod and use as a a media centre, but I'm waiting to see
how good these Neuros boxen are.

Cash Converters is selling the Xboxen for £30 each (all cables and a
controller included) and they seem to have a few in stock.
