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“. This did actually lead to players calling out Electronic Arts for deceptive use of the “GoldenEye” name.

Turok: Evolution, GameCube

Released for the GameCube in 2002, Turok: Evolution is the fourth game in the Turok series (fifth, if you count the non-canon Turok: Rage Wars), and serves as a prequel to Turok; Dinosaur Hunter (the first Turok game in this series), and will appeal to those who want a First-Person Shooter with dinosaurs in it. Because that is exactly what this game is!

The sequel to Need For Speed: Underground, and the second Need For Speed game (of four) released for the GameCube, Need For Speed: Underground 2 is a bit of a curveball in the series and is significantly different to the first game.

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).
