Initially released in 2010 as an Xbox 360 Live Arcade digital release by 4J – they also did the HD remasters of Rare’s Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie for the service – it received critical acclaim for its balancing act of feeling like the original game but also modernised with online connectivity, achievements, leaderboards, a revised game engine and higher resolution graphics. I evangelised in supreme detail the reasons for this in the retro review last week and so this will be purely a summation of my thoughts on what the Scottish-based porting studio were able to improve on the original.

Now, full disclosure here – growing up, Perfect Dark for the N64 has always been my answer when asked what my favourite game was. So, in this particular section, I will take the time to play a game of the past which could range from the NES era all the way to the Xbox 360/PS3 generation and share my thoughts with a rating out of five.ĤJ Studio’s HD remaster is a faithful perfection of the Nintendo 64 classic first-person spy shooter and contains many subtle improvements over the base game that any fan of the original should definitely experience. In fact, I am definitely guilty of spending many hours playing the old timers as much as the shiny new stuff.

And, sometimes you simply want to delve into an old favourite or a series you have heard great things about but never played. There are so many games to choose from these days and different platforms that it can be overwhelming deciding where to start.
