Games with the history of Perfect Dark Zero don't come along very often. Created in the days after the critically acclaimed Goldeneye, Perfect Dark introduced us to Joanna Dark, a super-spy in a world ruled by corporations.

But we never really found out what happened before. We all know about Cyberdyne and the events of Perfect Dark; but very little was eluded to prior events. Enter Perfect Dark Zero, a game which for most of its development has been nothing but a rumour.

Now, I am far from the biggest fan of Perfect Dark having only ever played on the game occasionally. Sacrilege I hear you scream! Well, maybe so, but I wasn't prepared to splash the cash on a console bound for failure when I was still in school (Hey, you only have one birthday and Christmas a year).

Either way, having played on Perfect Dark Zero I can tell you rest assured, that regardless of having played Perfect Dark, you'll find a great game. But let me foreworn you; this is not Halo. Expect to find a game like Halo and you will be sorely disappointed; a pity because in its own way Perfect Dark has a lot to offer.
