Perfect Dark

By allthatrumpus What we can expect: High definition running at a constant 60fps (no matter how many N-Bombs are showered upon opponents, right?) A revamped single player Xbox 360 exclusive content ONLINE multiplayer (up to four players) The return of a dodgy Scottish accent!

As you can see, it looks like Perfect Dark, but now lacking that trademark Nintendo 64 blurriness. That would be because this XBLA port will have the added benefit of running in as high as 1080p resolution, and at 60 frames-per-second. If a Nintendo 64 ...

According to the Twitter post, the game runs in the 1080p full HD video mode and will release for the Xbox 360 on the Xbox Live Arcade in the winter of 2009. There is a free downloadable Perfect Dark Xbox 360 dashboard theme which has been released on ...

Hands-on with 'The Conduit' In creating the shooter, Nofsinger says he turned to two well-known first-person shooters for inspiration: Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, both for the Nintendo 64. Although the game might not sport hyper-realistic visuals, The Conduit is one of the better ...

 CA When are we going to see more N64 classics like Perfect Dark, or Goldeneye (I know Microsoft owns Rare but can't they work something out?) or at least good N64 games. Will there ever be a Kingdom Hearts for the Wii? Two good questions, though I ...

 CA Those of you less versed in Rare's dominance in the late '90s and early 2000s, chew on this: Games like Conker, Perfect Dark: Zero and Viva Piñata wouldn't have ever existed on the Xbox/Xbox 360 if Microsoft didn't think so highly of Britain's ...

By hylian1 To most people, the franchise of Perfect Dark lost its luster in November of 2005. After a successful outing on the Nintendo 64, expectations for the next entry were indeed high and fans of the series and gamers looking into purchasing the Xbox 360 console were anticipating the first ‘kill...

By dogsounds So, Gears Of War was the 360’s kick-ass launch title, sort of (we’re not really going to count the lacklustre Perfect Dark Zero: Attack Of The Shiny People) and many have said that it did for this generation of Microsoft consoles what Halo did for the original Big Black Bugger™. Gamers wer...

Dark Dragon stuff (great game, looked awful); Altered Beast -- just as creepy as the first, more transformations, hotter graphics; Perfect Dark -- um, one of the best FPS' with possibly the greatest set of multiplayer options ever? ...

By Daniel Duncan IF the rumor proves to be true, I’m not certain on the whole Conker portion.

And what is Conker without Conker...

By Daniel Duncan Is anyone else tired of hearing this? Everyone is always speaking of the Rare’s “alleged” downfall but I’ve yet to see where they’ve ever fallen? Sure, and I openly admit, that Perfect Dark Zero didn’t live up to expectations. At all. This I believe was due in part to just some really bad decis...

By Justin McElroy We know that lots of developers are working on "secret" projects, which is a punchy, journalist-fooling way of saying "unannounced." But there really aren't any companies' secret projects we're as interested in as Rare's, as they could either be the continuation of a beloved favorite s...

By Brian Crecente The short answer, Kim said, is no. But he did acknowledge that Rare hasn't yet met it's full potential on the Xbox 360.
