    At the outset of Duke Nukem Forever, the titular blond-haired, kill-crazy hero again embarks on a quest to wipe out lots of aliens. His reasons are simple – they stole his babes. The plot doesn't make much sense at the beginning, the character development is limited to crude dialogue meant to elicit nothing more than cheap laughs, and the secondary characters do little more than spout nonsense laced with profanity.

    Duke Nukem Forever is, even after 13 years, a rushed product. It still needed more polishing, better visuals and certainly reduced load times. It's worth checking out for a nostalgic trip, but isn't a great game. Still, I love Duke and I'd give another sequel a decent chance. Read more

    When a modern first-person shooter (FPS) is using the same features, enemies and gimmicks as a 15 year old PC game, something must be rotten in the state of Duke-mark. And when a gaming icon such as Duke Nukem returns after a 14 year stint in development hell, expectations are quite high. At the time the original games were released, the gaming world had never experienced the high-octane crassness Duke had to offer. Read more
