Ten Years Ago, FPS History Was Made

August 27th, 2007

It’s hard to believe, but it’s actually ten years since GoldenEye was released on the N64. It was groundbreaking game on all fronts; visuals, weapons, controls, and of course, multiplayer. It was the first multiplayer shooter I ever played, and I can’t remember ever again having the sort of experience I got from playing GoldenEye 007 at that time, both single and multiplayer.

The interesting part is, GoldenEye was barely marketed, and when it was shown at E3 a few months earlier, it received almost no attention at all. It took everyone by surprise when it was released, getting perfect a score from many publications, and went on to sell 8 million copies worldwide. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest game ever made, and holds a special place in many gamers’ hearts. Use the comments section to share your GoldenEye experience and trivia.
