Well, this Half-Life 2 mod called GoldenEye Source, five years in the making, has just come out of beta and been fully released for free. The game is a creation of fans with the objective to bring the original experiences from GoldenEye on the N64 back to life. I remember spending hours upon hours playing GoldenEye on the N64, and was sad seeing it go."

    Before anyone gets too excited, this is a multiplayer only game, don't download it expecting to play the full GoldenEye campaign.

    What Goldeneye brought to the table was people. It wasn't the first great multiplayer game but it was the first socially acceptable FPS game. When I was in college, people would play it at parties. And I don't mean LAN parties. I mean at real proper college parties with girls and beer you'd often find some folks gathered around the TV playing Goldeneye. No longer was the FPS a thing to be played by geeks on PCs. For the first time, the first person shooter was for everyone. And that's huge even if the game itself wasn't revolutionary.
