GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, GameCube

Developed by EA Los Angeles and published by EA Games for GameCube, PlayStation 2 and XBox in 2004, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is an ‘anomaly’ in the James Bond video game franchise. Described as “non-canon“, and more of a “what if…” kind of video game experiment, Rogue Agent unfortunately doesn’t have any connection between it and the classic 1997 N64 game called “GoldenEye“.

Need For Speed: Underground, GameCube

Developed by “EA Black Box” and released by EA Games in 2003, Need For Speed: Underground is a street-racing game in high-powered modern cars. It uses fairly spectacular 3D graphics and environments; has a nice control/feel to the cars, and is full of OTT flashy car racing FMV (which some might find unnecessary; I was kinda leaning in that direction).
