GoldenEye Source Conversion Mod Released 105
tekgoblin writes "Were you a fan of the original GoldenEye on the N64? Well, this Half-Life 2 mod called GoldenEye Source, five years in the making, has just come out of beta and been fully released for free. The game is a creation of fans with the objective to bring the original experiences from GoldenEye on the N64 back to life. I remember spending hours upon hours playing GoldenEye on the N64, and was sad seeing it go."

Before anyone gets too excited, this is a multiplayer only game, don't download it expecting to play the full GoldenEye campaign.

Are companies still agressively beating down any fan mod that dares even closely resemble their IP these days or do they turn a blind eye to it now?
Some do, some don't. Valve are allowing the development of a complete remake of their original flagship game, Half Life 1 [blackmesasource.com]. Maybe because, like a lot of people, they don't think it will ever be completed.

You recalled incorrectly. BOTH are great. This is why it stands out, along with its successor Perfect Dark.

Half-Life: Source is just a direct port so that that original Half Life would run under the Source engine. There is virtually no improvement in the graphics whatsoever over the version which was released in the 90s. Black Mesa is a complete remake of the game (with Valve's permission) which will make use of the full capabilities and flashy effects of the modern Source engine, so that it will be comparable to HL2 in terms of impressive visuals.
