Duke Nukem won’t take Forever – boo!

Actually, despite my enthusiastic post yesterday, there is one small problem with the impending 2011 release of Duke Nukem Forever.

My big mouth.

Duke Nukem won’t take Forever – yay!

A long time ago, people said that 3D Realms’ FPS game “Prey” would never be released. It had taken too long… too many changes of direction… but amazingly, it did eventuate.

The same thing happened with Team Fortress 2. And of course when it was released it was (and still is) a phenomenal success.

A week ago, if you asked most gamers about Duke Nukem Forever, they’d say “It’ll never happen.” Well, it is going to happen, in 2011. Just like the aforementioned Prey and TF2, it HAS emerged from development hell.

Earlier today (my time) DNF was announced, and demonstrated at the Penny Arcade Expo.

Day Us Ecks – Judge it by its cover

It’s been 10 years since the fantastic FPS/RPS/Conspiracy thriller Deus Ex was released on PC.

RockPaperShotgun is all over it, and on Steam you can grab the original (classic) for just US$2.50, and the sequel (not so classic) for the same amount.

Actually, having a look at that Steam page made me notice something I hadn’t seen before.
