Perfect Dark on XBLA
Go back to the year 2000, think Nintendo 64 and awesomeness, and one of the first things that should pop into your head should be Perfect Dark. This should definitely not be confused with the mediocre Perfect Dark: Zero release in 2005 as an Xbox 360 launch title. The first iteration can now be found on Xbox Live Arcade.
For a measly 800 MS points this great game will be yours. Even though it’s not as good as Rare’s Goldeneye (which we’ll probably never see on XBLA), it still puts a smile on your face. If you don’t believe our word for it, download the trial to find out.
Content: Perfect Dark
Price: 800 Microsoft Points

I never played the first one at all - so this game is new to me! It took me 1hr and a few restart mission attempts to realise that actually you can press A to open doors
I kept waiting for guards to come.
I love this, but its multiplayer is hard!
Hmmm. This is a tough call. I have still have the N64 version, but being able to play multiplayer across live does sound very tempting…
