It's because present day shooter games are usually lame and stupid. GoldenEye was the shit and still is, with Perfect Dark not far behind. I still play both from time to time and enjoy them as much as I ever did, if not as obsessively. ;)

Good god, has anyone here managed to beat the Aztec level on 00 Agent difficulty? I've still never managed that feat, though I've come close. I had to cave and use a Gameshark to get past it in the end, so I could unlock the Egyptian.

No idea whether the Craig-ified "remake" is any good, but it surely won't have the same kind of feel as the original, even if it turns out to be a decent game in its own right. Does seem like the Wii remote would lend itself to shooter games, though.
