Maybe its just me
I've played it to death on 00 Agent setting, and there was no auto-aiming on it. Could be the settings.

I've got no problems with being kid-friendly, as long as its in moderation. That way, you at least stand some chance of improving, and it's not a complete cakewalk. Same reason why I don't like QTEs in games, it just takes the fun out of it by being able to press X and then A) have the room explode and destroy everything, and B) not die in the process. All the time. Same with regenerative health, taking any element of strategy out of the game. Where's the fun there?

Also, yeah, I'm screwing an Xbox 360 and PC on the side. And a Dreamcast too. And a Megadrive. I am a filthy consumer whore.

Dirty!
I've got a casual thing with a Wii, but I'm thinking of marrying my PS3, as long as it's open-minded enough to accept the occasional lapse.

And agreed about a challenge being important. I generally prefer a human opponent. As long as we're playing by the same rules, there's always a challenge then, even with "casual" games.

Don't write off Goldeneye. I reckon the settings with no auto aim or regenerative health will be hard enough to keep you entertained.

Right
My entire family seemed to have moved onto playing the PS3 most of the time (A few lapses to the Wii when I feel like playing Zelda or using the emulator to play one of my Gamecube games like Eternal Darkness etc etc).

A bit about the new Goldeneye (Just read an interview with one of the main guys on the project while on my dinner break today) The game has totally done away with all gadgets used in the original game, DK Mode is also a no no and each multiplayer character will have their own special move (Oddjob will be able to throw his hat from the look of it- I hope that this is a joke).

Will still buy it anyway because its release date is close to my sons birthday and he will more than likely want to see what all the hype is about.

The sad thing is the rumor that Rare have a fully working version of an up to date port of the original and are not allowed to do a thing with it.

That additional info of the game makes me cry
Get the original game for your son, don't give him the new game otherwise he'll wonder why everyone was raving about such a shit game.

I know there's been talks of getting it ported to the 360 but Nintendo have said no repeatedly, where's the news about the fully working up to date port of it?

There was certainly an auto-aim option in multiplayer.
