Remains of the Day: GoldenEye 007 Receives Unofficial HD Remake
GoldenEye 007, the classic N64 shooter from 1997, now features an unofficial remake with modern graphics. The developers used Valve’s Source engine to recreate the multiplayer aspect of the game. Hey, today is Friday, let’s have some fun.
