    Honestly Guys

    Personally, I do believe that this game delivers exactly what it promises, a Duke Nukem game. Gearbox and 2k never made any real use of the hype machine other than saying, 'Yes, it's finally coming out.' Is it ground breaking? No. Is it the best shooter, or even a contender? Not at all. Is it an enjoyable game to play? I feel it is.
    The game itself is nothing special, and isn't all that much different from Duke 3D, but it has fun factor. That's what counts. Personally, I haven't experienced any bugs that would hinder my enjoyment of the game, or any real bugs at all for that matter, which is damn rare for me in today's market. And people who gripe about the graphics, they aren't that bad. Really, they aren't. Certainly, they are not the best, not even close. But, they are not eye sores. Duke's one-liners and the dialogue in general are nothing special, but they are almost a nostalgia thing for me, more so than an actual pro or con about the game itself.
    All in all, I have found this to be an enjoyable game, it's nothing special at all, but it is, in my eyes, worth a play through. After spending the money on this, I would say to those who have been waiting for a Duke Nukem game, go ahead and buy it. It's Duke just like you remember him, only with more turd throwing. To those who just found out about this, wait, save your money, and pick it up on a bargain.

      Duke Nukem Forever is quite possibly the best example of game design evolution ever conceived.From the antiquated character design and minimal plot to the inconsistent pacing and repetitive gameplay, Duke feels old. I would like to say It's a product of its time, but I can't be sure when that time was.The story of DNF takes place 12 years after the events of Duke 3D. Aliens are back to steal babes, President doesn't like you, Army General does. Go. Along the way you'll also run into Dylan, you k...

      Forever in the making, but still not sure of its identity 0

      A few years ago Duke Nukem Forever was dead. Sent to the doldrums of many a cancelled game, destined to never see the light of day. And yet here we are; the year is 2011 and Duke Nukem Forever is actually a finished game – a physical item you can sit down and play yourself. It’s quite a surreal experience considering the twelve year development hell that became the gaming industry’s longest running joke. It had gone through multiple iterations before Gearbox picked it up and set about finishing ...
