| - Until Joanna Dark came along, no one had ever scored higher than an A at the Carrington Institute testing center. After Joanna, they had to create a new code name to reflect how well she performed. Perfect Dark was born. It wasn't long after that she was thrust right into the spotlight in the N64's Perfect Dark, a quasi-sequel to Goldeneye that featured a different storyline and characters, but the same gameplay mechanics that helped to make Goldeneye such a success in the first place. In Perfect Dark, Joanna is caught between an ongoing intelligence struggle between the Carrington Institute and the malicious, mysterious dataDyne corporation. Little is known of dataDyne's intent, but that isn't exactly Joanna's problem. Her mission is to infiltrate dataDyne headquarters, uncover their plans and foil them all as necessary. And for an agent like Joanna, this shouldn't be an issue. But what she discovers in there is far beyond what even she could have possibly imagined. Joanna has been on the shelf for quite some time, but she is about to return to us in a big way. Perfect Dark Zero will be a launch title for the Xbox 360, and it's off to the races from there. If PDZ is anything like the original (and once again it's Rare that's making the game), we're very well about to see the best non-Halo console FPS since.... well, Perfect Dark. "Sorry, gotta shoot!" - Joanna
