Duke Nukem 3D has now been certified by Microsoft and is ready for the big time, let’s rock. It seems like “forever” since we’ve seen a Duke Nukem game, even if this is simply a flashback to 1996. There were plenty of gamers that have an Xbox 360 now that didn’t get to play Duke Nukem 3D back then
This is a great time for younger gamers to experience an old school FPS in the days where we had to network our DOS systems together and play over IPX, before the Internet would bloom to where it is today. This version of Duke 3D has Xbox 360 achievements, so you can go back and re-live and re-achieve like never before.
“Murderous aliens have landed in futuristic Los Angeles, and humans suddenly find themselves atop the endangered species list. The odds are a million-to-one, just the way Duke likes it!”
It’s important to look back at some of our old games and replay them to see just how much we’ve advanced. It may not, however, be enough to make an old school gamer re-buy the game again. I find it odd that someone took the time to put energy into porting old Duke 3D and have yet to release Duke Nukem Forever, that was promoted back in 1997 is that next great Duke game. Where is it? Instead, we get a rehash of the last title. Interesting decision.

Erm, it’s a … different … intro 🙂
I guess this is due to Mass Effect?
In the hospital?! Diabetes?! Man … Jonah, I think you’re now avoiding the doctor just so that you don’t get diagnosed with God knows what.
@Microsoft: Xbox Live Arcade will be phased out eventually
Erm, dunno. I don’t think that an established digital distribution channel will be removed on a whim. You don’t back out from a market unless it generates losses, and I doubt this is the case for XBLA.
Ok, change the name, don’t care. But I think Microsoft will keep providing the service.
@Leaked images “nothing to do with” Doom 4
Doom 2 was set on Earth however. Dunno. From my point of view, anything goes.
The engine is idTech 5, that powered the Rage game.
@SimCity 5 coming in 2013:
never played, never cared.
@GAME drops 5% in shares after Mass Effect 3 no-show
Tough times for retailers. A lot of publishers either use Steam, or have developed their own digital distribution channels. So now they can afford to place heavier conditions to the retailers.
Now if you also add bad management in the mix, well, that’s a recipe for bankruptcy.
@Rumor: PlayStation 4 ditches Cell processor tech
To be honest, as long as you manage to create a nice API for the game developer, it doesn’t really matter if it’s a cell processor or 2-4 80×86 compatible cores.
I still can’t forget what they said at one point, that the cell processor was intentionally made hard to work with, so that the PS3 has a longer life.
Who thinks like that?!
Thanks Paul for sending my PD, my lil 5 yo bro will love this game (i’m 21 btw)
jordan, watch out for that C6H12O6!!! they are evil! deliciously evil!
paul, bronkitis sucks, i have it too.
jonah, go get a check up ASAP!
i hope you know that i am very glad all 3 of you are fine =]
@xbla no more eventually
it is a money maker, they will not give that away, its a name change for sure.
@sim city 5 comming 2013
meh… never liked the sims series very much (all sims, not only THE sims). i like destruction games more.
@ps4 changes processor
as long as it works with quality, I mean, as long as sony doesn’t screw up more stuff ¬¬
get well guys (be careful jonah, u might be next)
mwa hahahahaha (evil laugh if u dont get it)
take care
Can you guys make it a bit shorter? Some guys like me don’t have internet at home so we download it thru a phone. I can’t download it when its over 50M. I hope you take it to your attention, Cheers!
My god, that was the best intro ever! I’m pretty busy right now with my pre-GCSE exams, so don’t expect any long comments for now. You should be honored that you’re one of the things I will still be doing between studying.
Oh and Paul, I never got to hear your thoughts on Skyward Sword. Have you finished it, and if so, what did you think?
Hey guys, first time listener. I enjoyed the show, but I cringed at the narration of the news headlines. I’m by no means a good public reader, so I know how hard it is to vocally string together a poorly written sentence. Slow it down a little and you should be just fine.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for the listen!
