Flash back to three years ago last week: the Xbox 360 launch. What, you didn't stand in line for 6+ hours in the chill November of '05? Then you probably didn't get a launch bundle with Perfect Dark Zero. And you've missed out, to some degree. While it didn't set the world on fire or prove to be the 360 system seller Microsoft had hoped for, the game is decent first-person shooter in the vein of GoldenEye 007 with a single-player story mode and many online multiplayer modes. For what it's worth, the Metacritic average score is 81 - a solid B-. Best of all, you can win it for free and try to collect the 1000 achievement points that the gamerscore whore lurking in your heart so deeply desires.
We ended up with two copies, and this one is still sealed. We're holding on to the other, so if you win the game and want to pwn me in a deathmatch, consider that an added bonus.

I really liked the original Perfect Dark.
Just picked up Left 4 Dead on Amazon and this would make my week even sweeter.
happy bird day to all!
I remember playing this game over my friend's house. I didn't have a 360 at launch so I never got to experience this game at home. It would make my Thanksgiving weekend.
I have heard great things about perfect dark but never played.
(I wonder if I'll win???)
Always thought about picking it up at Gamestop, but never did. I wouldn't mind giving it a whirl.
Happy Black Friday!
Always up for another FPS!
Wow, I remember when this was one of the launch titles that everyone was covering.
Happy thanksgiving!
Even though a lot of people didn't like this game, I actually did.

Wouldn't mind trying this game out, always heard it was pretty good.
I rented it a couple of months back. Its not that bad of a game.
Does this still have the laptop gun in it like N64?
I liked this game. It's pretty good for a launch title.
May your Friday be black.
Let me win so I can have a game to play.
The original perfect dark was pure awesome. =P
I really loved the original Perfect Dark, but never got around to trying Zero because the reviews scared me off. =/ I wouldn't mind trying it for free, though!
A rareware game is still a rareware game. ;)
Growing up on the original perfect dark wtih the expansion pack has given me so many wonderful memories, I'd love to experience this one.
I want to win this because I missed out on the game at launch. I bought my 360 around 6 months after release, and I'm still catching up on a few launch titles that I've been wanting to try out.
Thanks.
lemme win please?
The first perfect dark was pretty good. I wouldn't mind giving this one a whirl.
The first Perfect Dark was great fun.
Great thanks
Decent game. Worth a rental.
This was pretty cool from what I remember back when the 360 launched, so getting it for free would be awesome.
Perfect Dark 0 was an allright game when I played it a couple years ago but I never got far into it but it seems like a game that may be worth going back to
Very interesting.
I haven't had a chance to play a Perfect Dark game. Seems like a good series though, and it's been around a while.

I have shamefully never played this or the N64 original.
Anohter game in the 360 department that has passed me by. I know I've only had my system a few months now, but there so much stuff out there I don't know if I will catch up.
Loved the 64 version and never got to play the 360 version or knew anyone who owned a copy. I heard this was good though so I'm excited.
Never played this seris, but I'd be interested to see how it plays.
hi
I never get lucky with these contests, although I have tried many. I do hope to win this game, as I've heard a lot of great comments.
awsome
Hey there
Yarblargenflarg! anyway, this always lookedl ike an interesting game to me.
Always wanted to pick this up, just never got the chance to. Would be a great opertunity to play that game.
New to the site, interested in checking the place out and determining for myself if all the hate on this game is true. Thanks!
its freeee
turbaconducken ftw. Eat one of those and a heart attack is guaranteed!
I have promised myself that I will not buy any more games this holiday season. I have bought too many thanks to the Black Friday weekend.
It may not be the "perfect" game, but at least it isn't a Uwe Boll film.
There are entirely too many great games on the 360. Thanks for the contest. I wish good luck to all, and great luck to me :)
Sweeeeet. I've heard some great things about this game but never got a chance to play it.
Wouldn't pay for it, but if we're talking free... that's a completely different story.
Awesome.
i never picked this game up
Looks like a cool game, I missed out on it cause I only bought my 360 a couple of months ago.
Just canceled my cable thanks to my 360/Netflix/PlayOn Hulu combo. Freedom at last! Now I just need to fill out my game library...
The original Perfect Dark was a sweet game...
Ooh, shiny stuff.
I have the original Perfect Dark in my closet. :D
i want it =/
I still remember the original Perfect Dark. I was 13 years old, couldn't get past the second level, but I still loved it.
Perfect Dark on N64 was awesome. lol. hope i win this so i can play it on 360 :D
Dude, I love Perfect Dark, my friends and I would play it for hours, until we got angry at each other for screen watching.
I've always wanted this game but never seemed to have the money to get it.
Goldeneye was far superior, however it does REMIND me of it, so I can see how both these titles ended up in the same sentence :)
Why not try for this. I am sure it is as good as the first one ;)
I want it.
I traded this on Goozex without gaining a single achievement on it. Would be nice to have another crack at it.
Seems like its worth playing.
I tried the demo, it was interesting..
I never played it but I've heard good things and would like to try it.
Never had a chance to buy it. Good luck to everyone.
Isn't this game based on the same graphics engine as Orange box?
The chances are slim that I'll win this, but I'll give it a go anyway.
Wasn't the main character in playboy's girls of gaming one year?
I've been wanting to try this, but didn't have a 360 until now. Hope I win.
I remember the original "Perfect Dark" on Nintendo 64 being pretty good, and, of course, "GoldenEye 007" is a true classic. Somehow, though, I never got around to playing this one, so it would be nice to win!
Almost missed out on this.
A 1 in 73 chance of winning at the time of this post... I LIKE THEM ODDS!
Haven't played the game, but it's on my wishlist since I got a 360 recently.
I've heard good things about this game.
I got my xbox back from microsoft today! yay! :D
I liked this game but never got around to playing it all.
Yet another newish 360 owner who's heard good things about PDZ but never played it.
I remember how excited I was for perfect dark 1 because it was the first game with "moveable" furniture, being about 10 at the time it came out that's all I did all day... Haven't touched the series since, but would love to.
Winner is 73. chakan.
Still working out what tomorrow's giveaway will be. Check in after midnight to find out what I came up with!
never actually played this one, but loved the original, and goldeneye before that...
hey there gang..everyone likes to win something so here i am happy holidays and have fun gaming..
Can i really win this game? I played the demo and would love to have this game. Great Contest!
