Perhaps one of the best FPS ever to grace a console is apparently about to make a splash on XBL. This particular game is my numbero uno FPS that I have ever played. Just a great game. I hope they get the logistics worked out. It might make an appearance on the Wii as well.

Few games capture a generation in the way Rare's first-person shooter GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 was able to do. Released in 1997, Rare's shooter quickly replaced Nintendo's groundbreaking Mario 64 in gamers' consoles due to its stellar multiplayer deathmatch mode, which provided an intense and addictive four-way split-screen experience and set the standard for many FPS hallmarks, including zoom-enabled sniper rifles and context-sensitive headshots.
With its place in history cemented, recent reports that Rare will be reimagining the Nintendo 64 version of GoldenEye 007 for Xbox Live Arcade aren't without interest. Citing omnipresent "very reliable sources," as well as claiming to have seen evidence firsthand, Xbox Evolved claims Microsoft, Rare, and James Bond movie studio MGM have reached an agreement that will bring the acclaimed shooter, with updated graphics and Xbox Live multiplayer support, to Microsoft's downloadable service "shortly before the new game developed by Activision is released." The Xbox Evolved report also claims that Rare has plans to rerelease other classics from its back-catalog over Xbox Live, including Perfect Dark and the original Banjo-Kazooie, both of which were also created for the N64.
