GoldenEye Source Conversion Mod Released

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."

Mac Port

if this is on Source, couldn't this have been ported to mac and put on Steam?

What Goldeneye brought to the table was people. It wasn't the first great multiplayer game but it was the first socially acceptable FPS game. When I was in college, people would play it at parties. And I don't mean LAN parties. I mean at real proper college parties with girls and beer you'd often find some folks gathered around the TV playing Goldeneye. No longer was the FPS a thing to be played by geeks on PCs. For the first time, the first person shooter was for everyone. And that's huge even if the game itself wasn't revolutionary.

My buddy used to do that in the dorms where he went to college. I used to play UT with my friends online. I came back over winter break and he told me how awesome he was, and he totally owned everyone on his hall, and he could kick my ass. How could I refuse the challenge? Even though I hadn't played any FPS's with a controller before, he was... humbled.

Goldeneye was a party, frat-boy game. It was the precursor to Halo. Neither of which were groundbreaking except for their ability to get the Madden crowd to play something different.
