XBLA released Perfect Dark. only 800 ms points. they cleaned it up a bit (not as boxy as the n64 version) and its fun to bring back the memories. if they put this up, and they have several other RARE games, i hope somehow they can put goldeneye up eventually

Apparently there are licensing issues between RARE and Nintendo for Goldeneye, so it may or may not happen. They've already got Banjo Kazooie (and Tooie) out for XBLA. I'm hoping for Jet Force Gemini. Perfect Dark looks really great so far, but man am I rusty.

If goldeneye ends up on the 360, expect me to never post here again, for I will devote every waking minute of my time playing it.

The Splinter Cell series might be my favorite and I guarantee it'll be more than good. The last release, Double Agent...There were some things introduced I didn't care for, but looking back it's still better than 90% of the games out there. Some of the "kill" moves you can perform are just very satisfying. I'd replay sections just to try different stuff.

Anyway, I dl'd the demo a couple nights ago. I'd snag the old Xbox games if I were I were you. They're that good.

the opening interrogation "scene" in the demo is so badass

Last night while completely wasted, I stumbled across an old Gameboy in my friends dorm room with the Pokemon game in there (Blue version thank God). Anyway, I was reminded how amazingly awesome those games were, and wondering if there was a place where they can be downloaded to my computer (preferably free).
