News LOL: Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold
Wait for it: Duke Nukem Forever has gone gold
That means, short of a catastrophe, the game is finished and ready to be manufactured for retail. Always bet on Duke, I did, said Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford. I bet on all of the developers who have ever been a part of this legendary project and I bet that none of us want to live in a world...

News Duke Nukem Forever Insists You Come Get Some

News Latest Duke Nukem: Forever Trailer Hones In On The Babes
If Duke Nukem: Forever's idea of "babes" are what's depicted in this trailer, we'll be replacing next years Hollyoaks calendar for the one featuring Cristiano Ronaldo in his swimwear -- these girls look like they were rendered on late 90's hardware
Oh wait, they were. (For the record: this game is starting to win us over.)
News This Duke Nukem Forever Video Is Not An April Fools Day Joke...

News You're Not Going To Believe This: Duke Nukem Forever Is Delayed...
.. But only until June! Duke Nukem Forever was originally due out at the start of May, but Gearbox has pushed the date to June 10th worldwide, and June 14th in North America. Hilariously, Gearbox gaffer Randy Pitchford has released a video announcing the delay. You can catch that after the jump.
News Hang On, Duke Nukem Forever Has A 'Capture The Babe' Multiplayer Mode?
Uh-oh, time for the sexist white knights to jump on their horse and ride to the rescue -- guess what, Duke Nukem Forever objectifies women? Hang on, wait a minute, Duke Nukem? Is that the sound of a thousand angsty nobodies dismounting their horse? Sure -- because in any other video game this would be deemed "sexist" by said sensitive types, but Duke Nukem always gets a free pass
Mainly because it's "funny". Supposedly. Take Duke Nukem Forever's "Capture The Babe" mode. It's a play on Capture The Flag. Get it? The twist is, instead of picking up a pole and ribbon, your letching after...
News Heads Up: Duke Nukem Forever Now Has An Official Website
Duke Nukem Forever now has an official website
Which is pretty crazy when you start to think about it. The game — which has been in development for, well, forever — is actually coming out in May (apparently). The website's packed with assets, terrible music and "hilarious" quips from the Duke himself. Click through here if you're...
News Good Grief, Duke Nukem Forever's Campaign Is 16-18 Hours Long
The general consensus seems to be that Duke Nukem Forever is an old-school shooter
Run into a room, face a hundred monsters, circle strafe and shoot, rinse and repeat. There's nothing wrong with throwback at all, in fact games like Bionic Commando Rearmed and Super Street Fighter IV have had tremendous commercial success because of their reverence...
News Duke Nukem Forever: Balls Of Steel Edition Includes A Bunch Of Crap You Don't Really Want
We're not sure where we stand with collector's editions anymore
At first we thought they were a really novel addition to really big releases, but now that every game gets one, they're starting to feel less special. What's more, the stuff that's included is getting a bit predictable. We suppose they are still great for real fans of the franchises...

News Borderlands Level Cap Update Coming Soon, Gearbox Pretty Promise
Are you still playing Borderlands? Thought you might be
That game is big. In fact, if we didn't have a back-log of about 5,264,631 games to review [slight exaggeration - Ed], we'd still be playing it now. And if we were still playing it now, we'd be hotly anticipating the game's level cap raising patch. Speaking of which, Gearbox claim that the...

Feature Is There Still A Place For Duke Nukem? -- "Twiggy" The Push Square Opinionator
The re-announcement of Duke Nukem Forever this week has put my thoughts to the test
I was semi pleased when the game was cancelled. Obviously, my thoughts went out to all those who had worked hard and were losing employment — but at the same time, I feel like we've moved on from the Duke Nukem character. Does he even matter anymore? I vaguely...

News Borderlands Gets New DLC This September, "Claptrap's New Robot Revolution"
It was nice of Gearbox to mention that there'd be even more Borderlands DLC

News Stupid Rumourville: Gearbox Are Finishing Off Duke Nukem Forever

Gearbox's Randy Pitchfod thinks Valve are "foolish" to not support Playstation 3 development
