007 GoldenEye: Reloaded

[Blak Smyth]

I was huge into it on N64, but about a year ago i went back and played it and it was horrible. I guess some memories shouldn't be relived. I can't speak for this new release, I stayed away because of the sour taste I have from my throwback attempt. I have been playing FPS games every since the original Golden Eye and just worry this new game can't hold a flame to MW3.

I love going back to old gaming systems. My buddies and I recently brought out my original NES, and played games of Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, Break Thru, Blades of Steel, Baseball, and Double Dribble. The original Baseball was a hoot.

And of course, SNES followed soon after with rounds of Super Mario Kart.

Mario Cart was the best (most fun) racing game ever. I played it on Wii when I was in Cali for Thanksgiving and it just wasn't that same "fun" that it used to be. Almost worth having a SNS just for the original.

I never liked any of the followups to the original Mario Kart. The racing portion of the N64 version wasn't too bad, but they have never recaptured the fun of the original Battle Mode. I have so many memories of spending hours on end with my buddies hunting each other down with red turtle shells.

Same here, loving playing the old systems.

I'm just an old school kind of person, so the older style games/systems I actually like.

Me too. ALthough it's partly because I can't bring myself to shell out the kind of money for the latest/greatest system. Newest platform I own is a PS2.

I bought a PS3 for bluray, netflix, and for a few new games. Worth it imo. I still play my ps2 for a lot of older games. Even ps1

Not to threadjack, but if you're interested in a trip down old school 8-bit memory lane, then check out the Angry Video Game Nerd at cinemassacre.com.
He's the reason that I started beefing up my NES collection again.

It's far different than MW3. FWIW, I also prefer BF3 to MW3

Agreed. The only similarity between COD series and the Bond series is that it has guns and is a first person shooter. If I do buy the new Goldeneye, it will be b/c of the single player.
I loved the original for the single player and hated the multiplayer b/c my little brother would always kick my @ss.

Looks pretty good.

I'm not sure which version to purchase, though. Goldeneye: Reloaded for PS3 or Goldeneye: 007 for the Wii. IGN has the Wii version rated higher than Reloaded, but Reloaded is in HD and still looks good. I hear the games are similar, but there are some differences in gameplay and levels.
