Golden Eye:

Golden Eye is a first-person shooter video game series and forms part of the James Bond inspired games. The first game, entitled Golden Eye 007, was developed by Rare and released for the Nintendo 64 and the unrelated subsequent title Golden Eye: Rogue Agent, was developed by Electronic Arts for the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, and the DS.

Golden Eye 007 is story is largely based on the 1995 James Bond movie of the same name, featuring the same characters and some new additions, further enriching the movie's story line. It considered to be an important title to the development of the first-person shooter genre and is specially noted for its multiplayer death match mode. The game also incorporated the use of stealth with 1 st person perspective and varied mission objectives into its single player missions.

The weapons available in Golden Eye 007 come from both real life firearms and fictional ones featured in the James Bond universe. Bond's initial weapon in most missions is the PP7, an equivalent of the Walther PPK. Different weapons and equipment become available to the player throughout the game.

Golden Eye: Rogue Agent, came out last 2004 for the Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube and was ported to the DS a year later. This subsequent title has an unrelated storyline with that of its predecessor and is only similar in that it features the character Xenia Onatopp, an uplink multiplayer level and the theme of an agent defecting to the enemy. Also, the playable character is not James Bond himself but a former MI6 Agent by the name of Jonathan Hunter, who later assumes the moniker "Golden Eye".

Unlike its predecessor, Golden Eye: Rogue Agent suffered poor reviews because of its lack of innovation and mediocre gameplay. A sequel was originally planned as can be seen from the game's ending but was scrapped because of the game's lackluster performance in the market.
