Randy Pitchford isn’t too excited about it. Duke Nukem Forever, having been in the works since 1997, and one of the most notorious vaporware products ever, is seeing another month-long delay. No reason has been given for the delay, but a few believe it may be because of mediocre and mixed reactions to the demos shown at recent conferences and conventions. The good thing that came from this, however, is a hilarious video featuring Gearbox’s charismatic CEO.
We’re going into another grand weekend for online game sales. Steam has upped their game by offering TWO midweek discounts this week, and now they’re giving us TWO weekend deals as well. until Monday you’ll be able to get the racing game F1 2010 for half off at twenty dollars, and you’ll also get Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West for 75% off at $2.50. And if that ain’t cheap enough fer ya pardner, yew can try it fer free all weekend long before coughin’ up the moolah.
A lot of sequels add in more guns, more enemy types, or more explosions, but there’s one upcoming shooter sequel that’s adding in something else: More laughs. The first Portal game had a few moments of dark comedy, but after a look at the first few minutes of the sequel in a video recently released in the wake of PAX East, it’s clear that Portal 2 is going to be crammed full of laughs.
NYC. New York City. The Big Apple. Its easily the worlds most recognizable city, one of America’s most iconic locations, and a huge tourism site. It’s also a ripe setting for countless gaming classics ranging from open world sandboxes to futuristic first person shooters.
Well that didn’t take long! Two weeks from launch, Dragon Age 2 is already marked down by 33% at Amazon, today only. You can pick it up for forty dollars for any system, including digital download. If you just knew that this sort of sale was inevitable and held off on buying the game so far, then pat yourself on the back, and head over to Amazon for this highly recommended deal.
I’ve joked that I would not believe this game exists until after I’ve played it. In development for fifteen years,Duke Nukem Forever has long been the butt of many vaporware jokes (Including a few of my own). However at PAX East there was a demo on-hand, and I can say that I have played it, and I confirm that the game does exist. Based on what I’ve seen from the demo, it should be fun to play for shooter enthusiasts, and a treasure-trove of nostalgia for Duke fans.
