After months of speculation, Rare finally revealed that GoldenEye 007 is making a return to Xbox consoles, as well as Nintendo’s Switch. To celebrate this rather momentous occasion, Nick, Darran and Tim have got together to discuss the best James Bond game of all time as well as other popular and not so popular licensed games.
DARRAN
So how do we all feel about
GoldenEye
007
being re-released on new consoles?
NICK
I’ve got fond memories of playing it as a kid, but I won’t be going back to it. Not without a sick bag at the ready, anyway.
TIM
I didn’t play it much and when I did I was confounded by the controls. The arrow buttons to look around? I was used to twin sticks by that point. Still picked Oddjob though.
DARRAN The N64 was one of the few consoles Melanie would play on and she loved GoldenEye. She was terrible at it though, and you could always tell where she was in multiplayer matches because her character would either be looking at the ceiling or its feet.
