This week I will be doing some online gaming with Perfect Dark and Modern Warfare 2. The online Co-op on Perfect Dark is still a blast after all these years, and Xbox Live play really make this an even better experience.
Even after all these months have passed, I still have a great time with Modern Warfare 2. Even with all the exploits players have been using, most of the time I can play fun and balanced matches. The question of whether the new maps will be worth 1200 MSP or not is still up in the air, I believe they will be a nice addition.
I also plan to play through the Splinter Cell Conviction Demo a few more times. The action so far is a nice improvement over the classic "hide in the shadows" gameplay, and I can't wait to see how the co-op turns out.
I Hope everyone has a great weekend of fun and relaxing gaming!!

-Perfect Dark XBLA will cost 800 Points and has upped the multiplayer count from 4 to 8
-The Will run at 60fps at 1080p quality while all the polygons for object has been nearly tripled.
-All the modes you know and love return and can be played online like the multiplayer challenges
-Classic Goldeneye Maps and Weapons will pop into the game

After minor details for so long, it's nice to have some concrete information about this long awaited release.

{UPDATE}
Rare has confirmed on their twitter that Perfect Dark is coming Early 2010 which is still Winter. Here's for a January Release! Also New Picture Under Joanna! Original Posting Below:
Ever since E3 we have had only bits of information regarding the release of Perfect Dark on Xbox Live Arcade. We knew it was going to be a HD version of the game with updated visuals and Xbox Live play, but the Winter 2009 release window is almost gone. Then yesterday Xbox Live's Major Nelson tweeted this:
"For those asking: Perfect Dark Zero will be coming to Arcade in a few months. That's all the info I have."
He then corrects himself since a few may have thought he meant Perfect Dark Zero for Games on Demand or something, but this is the only information we have on the release date of the game.
If it needs to be delayed, that fine by me. I want it to be as great as I remembered it and even better, but still I want it now! How great would this be to play around Christmas time online with friends. It would be the "perfect" gift for many, and even for those who never played the N64 Classic, could to check what the Hardcore fans have been talking about for quite some time.
I posted the new screen Rare put up yesterday, and now today there is a new one featuring Joanna Herself. Are these daily images leading up until the release?

Look Cool, but when is it coming out?!
From Rare:
"You thought we were just going to sit around moaning all day - but here's a new PD XBLA shot! How about that? Eh? Yeah? New PD XBLA Image"
Let's hope the Winter 2009 release is soon. I can't wait to play this great game again!
