i cant wait. i use to love this game + i was amazing at it.

Somewhat lost in the E3 shuffle last week was much-under-reported  http://twitter.com/majornelson/statuses/2008690137 -  that 4J Studios -- the same developer that helped bring the excellent conversions of Rare's Nintendo 64 platformers Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie to Xbox Live Arcade -- would also be bringing spiritual GoldenEye 007 sequel Perfect Dark to Arcade this "winter."

The sci-fi original IP to Bond's GoldenEyePerfect Dark was an underdog cla**ic for the console, and marked by troubled development that saw a number of the original designers leave during the course of its development to start their own studios (Martin Hollis to  http://www.offworld.com/2009/05/from-goldeneye-to-gardening-zo.html - developer Zoonami, and a number of others like David Doak to Free Radical, where they founded the TimeSplitters franchise). There definitely comes a shift at a certain point in the game where its taut and sober opening acts loosen to uneven comedy, but it's still one of the finer first person shooters from the era.

The  http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/p/perfectdarkxboxlivearcade/default.htm -  confirms that the game will be updated with online capabilities for its very densely packed multiplayer half -- I'm certainly looking forward to returning to briefcase holding after all these years.

these great comparison shots from Perfect Dark on the Nintendo 64. Really shows what a great job they are doing on the XBLA upgrade.

Not only is this made from my favorite game design company, its going to keep all of the original components from the N64 version and add the XBL online and stuff to it. Check it out Winter 2009.

I liked perfect dark but loved Goldeneye better. I know pretty well much the same game.

But this is good news to hear cause those games were such a success.

My God, why can't Rare come out with more good games like they did.  They made some of the most masterful games ever.

-Banjo Kazooie and Tooie(Don't argue that tooie was bad, it wasn't.)
-Goldeneye
-Perfect Dark
-DonkeyKong Country(Some of the best games I have played)
Donkey Kong 64(the hardest platformer out there)
