Weekly Poll 4/16/08 - Goldeneye, 11 years later

Never really liked it or it's follow up on the cube.

It's follow up on the cube?  What game was that?!

I was wondering the same thing. None of the Bond games are sequels to GE007, not even GoldenEye Rogue Agent for the GCN/XB/PS2/DS, it just happens to have a similar name used for a different purpose.

Nightfire was very similar, maybe that's what he's talking about? Or maybe Timesplitters 2, not a Bond game of course, but still very similar?

I often speed run games with my friends here at college.  Goldeneye is one I do all the time because:

- The game is only a couple hours long
- It's the best damn single player FPS ever made
- Control is awesome

Sorry, forgot to check back on this topic. I guess it wasn't a sequel. You'll have to forgive my lack of interest in them both, as a result both games seemed the same to me. It was some 007 FPS on Gamecube I had played that had two discs to it. That's about all I remember.

Well, this game started the first person  shooter craze for me,  it was absolutly the best  game in its time, first person shooter wise. I  remember going over to a friends house, when i didnt have a 64,  and played it for hours,  then got 2 other friends hooked on  it, well it all began there,  eventually getting 64, this game was a must to  buy, it had all the perfect  parts to make up a perfect multiplayer shooter. I  still own the game,  but when perfect dark came out, that game was also a must for those multipl;ayer hang  outs, cept this game,  you could add bots. Its funny when you look  back on it,  seing how those games were the best  of t he best,  but when online games came out,  that  you  could play agaisnt people anywhere,  well , games like goldeneye dont have much gameplay  left. Instead  of playing 4 people agaisnt eachother,  now its up to  32 and what not depends on  the game.  I think game s like call of duty 4, with fall deeply into same category  as goldeneye,  only with time.

In all fairness towards Golden Eye tough I have never been a fan of the 007 franchise, so it was always going to be an uphill battle.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Ah, piss off person who never gave it a chance >

[Shimra]

Goldeneye is still awesome, and the 'sequels' by the same team (Perfect Dark and Timesplitters 2) are both awesome as well. Best FPS series imo.

[Ghost Soldier]

When I'm in the mood for a N64 romp I play Goldeneye.

[Sirgin]

I haven't played it, but I'm eyeing a N64 (don't own one) on eBay right now with Goldeneye as one of the included games

I found Timesplitters: Future Perfect an awesome game (also by Free Radical) but I read that their newest, Haze, isn't that good at all.

Ooooh, just remembered I watched the movie Goldeneye a week or so ago, was pretty fun
