Finally, Perfect Dark for XLBA is out!

Must....not....buy.....

Yes that's right, for only 10$ you can own one of the best games ever made! It features a solid 17 mission campaign coupled with an extremely customizable multiplayer system. Not to mention that you can play the campaign Co-operatively and even Counter-operatively.

But since there are no zombies I don't hold any hope that anyone on here will get it....oh well.

Although I'm currently boycotting download-only games, so I likely won't buy.

Why boycotting download only games? No servers?

The good:
1) Interesting and engaging, if somewhat dated storyline (the game is 10 years old). They did update the textures with some nice high-rez work.
2) Ability to play entire campaign co-op (something almost unheard of for a FPS back then).
3) Counter-op (one player is the main character, and the other plays the soldiers, it is quite fun).
4) A virtually unlimited number of customizable options for the mutiplayer system. Including weapons list, several game modes, bots, 3 Goldeneye maps, and many more that I can't remember.
5) Several difficulty levels for each mission which add new objectives (and AI strength).

The bad:
1) It's not Goldeneye.
2) Old-school aiming system not as precise as current FPSs (need to press a button to aim properly).

I read some reviews on it and although it sounds fun (no, really!), I have too many games I haven't even got to yet to consider it at this point. Also, I have been spending whatever time I have had lately trying to get my Berserker up to a level where I can play $#@%ing Borderlands with Blackwalt, Coxxorz and Graybush.

$#@%ing Borderlands ...

Oh, and there are no zombies.

At least I am finally done Oblivion, so I can concentrate on other games, like Gears of Testosterone 2. But I still have a long queue of other ones (and ones I don't even have, like Bioshock 2).

Which is why I won't be getting it right now. If it goes on sale for 400 points in the near future I'll definitely get it.

Derailed, again.

Is that why I have a Fallout3 game on my desk ?

And Coxxorz said that you were two blocks from my house but failed to deliver it.

It may have had something to do with the amount of homemade Irish Cream he drank.

The lush.
