Put on your sunglasses and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are back and only Duke can save the world, again. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses won't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it.
The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke’s life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend.
You've waited long enough--come get some. And by some we mean all ego boosts.
Let's get one thing straight: Duke Nukem Forever has a lot of ribald, off-color, politically incorrect, and flat-out gross moments in it. It objectifies women, possibly for comedic effect, possibly because it allows the game to have more boobs in it. It doesn't matter. The game has you grab a piece of poop out of a locker room toilet and hurl it at someone, possibly for comedic effect, possibly because the game's writers are into scatology. It doesn't matter. You may have an opinion as to whether or not these things are funny, or cool, or entertaining, and that's all legitimate -- but what isn't legitimate is trying to take Duke Nukem Forever to task for doing things you find inappropriate. Understand this: When it comes to matters of taste, the simple fact is that "inappropriate" doesn't exist. Read More »
