It had been brought to my attention recently that a remake of Goldeneye – the N64 classic – is in the works.  It will feature Daniel Craig though.  This project is something I intend to follow.

I had a chance to try Perfect Dark’s port on the Xbox Live Arcade the other day (sells for about 800 points), and it is everything you remembered from the N64 version – awkward controls and all!  My buddy and I played a few hours of multiplayer, and I felt at home again. The port has Xbox Live compatibility, but I can’t speak too much about the modes since I spent my time in the offline part.  Back in the day, I spent many hundreds of hours hunting the arenas in one shot kill mode of Perfect Dark as my alien-headed President character, and it’s great to play the game again.

I recently had time to play Pandemic Studio’s final game (they were shut down) on the Xbox 360.  I will admit that I knew very little going into this game and did not have high expectations.  I never was one for Thief or other games that encouraged you to not be seen – I have this nasty habit of sticking out like a sore thumb when I should remain unseen.  The name ‘Saboteur’ implied that this was a game that might not be for me.  I am pleased to report that I was very mistaken.

At first glance, Gearbox Software’s Borderlands title appears to offer not much more than standard post-apocalyptic shoot-em-up. The unexpectedly strong sales for this game are justified; read on for a casual gamer’s take on this title.
