Duke Nukem Forever Review [HOAX]

jmke · 1st April 2006, 11:50

What a long, strange trip it's been. I wasted away most of my junior high years playing Duke Nukem 3D. Our own Opposable Thumbs writer Rodney designed any number of maps for it and we would be sending pipe bombs down the elevator shaft into the wee small hours of the night. The game was great, you got your teleporting, your freeze ray, your strippers, everything you could want. The level design was almost as good as Doom 2, and I don't say that lightly.

The original computer game got a few expansions, and then turned into a long string of terrible console games. Does anyone really remember Planet of the Babes fondly? The original PC title needed an update, and soon one was announced. That was around ten years ago. The game has since been stuck in unending development hell ever since it was announced in April 1997, the butt of jokes that would make John Romero blush. Of course, the silence had to be broken at some point.

And Duke Nukem's time is now.
