Shame, shame.

Playing GoldenEye 007 and disappointingly did not complete it before the end of the year. I will say though that getting the more difficult cheats in the game–something I have not attempted in roughly a quarter century–has been an addiction coming back to me after so long. The real game is the Secret and 00 Agent difficulty levels–the regular difficulty setting is pretty perfunctory to me now and I worried I wasn’t going to like the game as much but playing the “real” game has made me love it again. It’ll probably drop a couple places on my all time list (Final Fantasy Tactics is clearly better) but I’m glad I did this.
