they completed the game, had the achievements and everything, and nintendo said no and that was the end of it.
Yeah. I have...erm, fond memories of dying to the sound of Cassandra de Vries laughing while her bodyguards gun me down. That's the very end of the third mission (i.e, first mission in reverse), in case you forgot.sinclose said:

No Oddjob rule in Goldeneye? I always encouraged people to play as Oddjob. The autoaim will automatically go for center mass, and as it just turns out, Oddjob's center mass was his head since it doesn't account for height, and hence the normal autoaim torso shots would hit right in his head. Don't believe me, take a Cougar Magnum and have Bond run at you and fire without aiming. It'll hit his chest. Have Oddjob run at you and let autoaim do it's work, it'll hit him right in the head. That's why I stopped picking Oddjob. Trevelyan was always my choice. His dark clothes blended in perfectly in dark lighting, especially in the Water Caverns, I could watch someone run right by me and come out with the RCP-90 blazing.brabz said:
Oh and as far as the new Perfect Dark, it's fun so far. It's great replaying a classic, but the aiming is far too sensitive. It's hard to use manual aim since the 360 joystick hasn't been ground down due to hard plastic rubbing against hard plastic. I really like the fact that it doesn't look like a muddy pool, and the framerate is above 20fps. Whenever my brother and I get together we break out the N64 and play multiplayer Perfect Dark, so it'll be fun to try out the Facility in Capture the Flag against 8 bots the next time he comes back and see how it compares.
But still, it's great playing a slightly updated classic. It looks and runs quite a bit better, difference in controls aside. And hopefully it'll get some kids into the older games. You don't need grenade jumping and vehicles to have fun. All you need is a solid game, with splitscreen, massive amounts of weapons, and G-Bombs and one hit kill turned on so you can piss everyone else off.
I just played Deus Ex for the third time. I also re-played Soldier of Fortune and even took a look back into System Shock. But this one, tapdancing Christ this is Ugly! Don't like it one bit. If I want cool multiplayer action with bots, there's always Quake Rocket Arena. Hell, there are truckloads of open-source games that look better and probably are more fun to play.
Thumbs up for the review, thumbs down for the unappealing game.

There corrected that for youDigikid said:
Zero had so much going for it, all they had to do was essentially remake the original with a new story and use a shiny engine and they would have been set.
instead, rare decided suck the Halo cock of shitiness and turned turned the respectable Ms Dark with a sense of wit into a Yankee-doodle whore (She had a tattoo on her NECK for god's sake) who reacted to the slightest criticism by pointing a gun at the person who made the comment.
damn, I hope this will come out for PC some time too, I used to own the N64 version, but let a girl I liked borrow it, and never got it back.
I'd love to play it again, especially with online multiplayer. I remember playing it in 4 player split screen with some class mates on a ridiculously small TV at a ski resort back in 2000 or so, and it was awesome. Made the entire trip worthwhile, since it started raining as soon as we got there. Playing with the game breaking see-through-walls-and-kill-anybody-on-the-map gun was hilarious.

The only reason I checked this out was because I bought PDZ awhile back and loved it for the most part, but when I talked about on here, i'd here nothing but "It was shit, The orignal was so much better, blah-de-blah-de-blaaaaaaaaaaaaah." So I did the trial version of Perfect Dark, and downloaded minutes later, it's a really good game if your the kind of person who still gets out the N64 to play Goldeneye every once in a while.
If they'd never made Perfect Dark Zero I'd probably have my dusty old pair of nostalgia colored glasses. I got the memory pak (or pack...whatever...), and I still have that and the original game, and when they were new you can bet I played them to death, knew every stage better than the features of my own face, so I'm pretty much over this.
Too bad Rare can't get it's act together on se-erm, prequels, with this rehash it seems kind of like they're riding their own coattails.
