The first game in the series is Perfect Dark, released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. The game is set in the year 2023 and follows Carrington Institute agent Joanna Dark as she uncovers dataDyne's mysteries through 17 missions. A spin-off, also titled Perfect Dark, which is the only one in the series not to be a first-person shooter, was released for the Game Boy Color shortly afterwards. It takes place one year prior to the Nintendo 64 game and centers on Joanna's attempts to prove herself as an agent for the Carrington Institute.
A full second game, Perfect Dark Zero, was released as a launch title for the Xbox 360 in 2005, taking place three years prior to the original game. The story revolves around Joanna's attempts to stop dataDyne from taking possession of an alien artifact which endows individuals with superhuman powers. In 2010, a remake of the Nintendo 64 title, Perfect Dark XBLA, was released as an Xbox Live Arcade game for the Xbox 360. It features improved graphics and online multiplayer.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Criticism occupies the lowest place in the literary hierarchy: as regards form, almost always; and as regards moral value, incontestably. It comes after rhyming games and acrostics, which at least require a certain inventiveness.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
