Top 50 Games #37: Goldeneye 007


WHAT'S IT ABOUT:
James Bond is out and about infiltrating a Soviet weapons factory.  He meets up with 006 but the mission goes bad and 006 is killed but Bond escapes just in time.  Nine years later, the world has changed and the Cold War is over.  However, Bond goes back to Russia and discovers the plot of the Goldeneye Satellite that would unleash an EMP on the world and bring the British finances back down to zero.  And who is the mastermind behind this evil plan...why 006 I mean Janus is silly.

WHY I LIKE IT:
The game has aged a bit, especially in terms of graphics with its five-sided faces but it's still a milestone of video game history and still a great game in its own right.  The control scheme is fluid and natural.  The missions are fun to play.  There's a cheap thrill when you shot a chair and it explodes.  This game still has it.

MY FAVORITE PART:
The boat level.
