Come get the Duke Nukem Forever launch trailer

Posted on June 2, 2011 by John Scalzo

The man may have stolen all of Ash’s catchphrases, but Duke Nukem is still one of the biggest badasses in video games. And After 14 years, he plans to prove it on June 14 when Duke Nukem Forever is released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. 2K Games wants to get gamers excited for that momentous date by unveiling the game’s launch trailer. It’s hilariously NOT SAFE FOR WORK, but it’s also hilariously awesome too.

I’d hit it too, Duke, I’d hit it too.

WWE ’12 pins PS3, Wii, 360 this November

Posted on June 1, 2011 by John Scalzo

Smackdown has been smacked down and Raw has been cooked, this year’s WWE release from THQ will be known by the much simpler title WWE ’12. THQ promises that WWE ’12 will be “Bigger, Badder, Better” when it releases on November 22 for the PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.

Not only does the game have a new title and a new slogan, but the technology behind it has been rebuilt from the ground up:

WWE ’12 will offer players the opportunity to engage in the WWE experience through the new Predator Technology dynamic gameplay system, which is poised to deliver the most fluid, dynamic, authentic and action-packed WWE simulation experience to date. Included are the new Breaking Point submission system, new Attributes and control layout as well as significant improvements to other key gameplay systems, including Momentum and Stamina. WWE Universe Mode 2.0 will generate new and more impactful elements of unpredictability based on player decisions, while dynamic visual changes to gameplay presentation, including new animations, camera positions, lighting and improved rendering, will set the tone for delivering an exceptional simulation of WWE programming.

WWE ’12 will also include an extensive Creatve-A-Wrestler mode with customizable entrances, finishing moves, storylines and Highlight Reels along with the return of the popular Road to WrestleMania mode. Finally, the game will boast one of the largest rosters of WWE Superstars, WWE Divas and WWE Legends in franchise history, including Randy Orton, John Cena, The Miz and the debuting Alberto Del Rio.

The game’s debut trailer can be found and a ridiculously detailed developer Q&A with Creative Director Cory Ledesma can be found at SmackdownVsRaw.com (the Q&A also includes a ton of screenshots). Not surprisingly, THQ will be showcasing the game at next week’s E3 Expo.

Disney Universe suit ups this Fall

Posted on May 26, 2011 by John Scalzo

The Disney/Square Enix partnership has produced six Kingdom Hearts games with a seventh in development. The House of Mouse must have taken that franchise’s mashup mentality to heart as they’ve announced Disney Universe will be available on the PC, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 this Fall.

Disney Universe will mix together characters from Disney’s animated and live-action films in a “fast-paced” and “frenetic” adventure. Players will be able to “suit up” as more than 40 Disney characters including Alice (Alice in Wonderland), Mike (Monsters, Inc.), Tron (Tron: Legacy) and Stitch (Lilo & Stitch). Once in costume, players will gain powers and tools related to their character of choice as they explore six worlds based on legendary Disney and Pixar films. And like any good family game, Disney Universe will also include a multiplayer mode for up to four players.

Disney Interactive plans to expand Disney Universe on the PS3 and Xbox 360 post-launch through an expanding universe of downloadloadable content and items including additional worlds, costumes and more available for purchase.

Hell freezes: Duke Nukem Forever has actually gone gold

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

No more delays, Duke Nukem Forever is finally being printed on discs and making its way to retailers for its June 14 launch date on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The 14-year development history of the game itself across four development studios has been an odyssey in itself, and this no doubt marks a monumental day for gaming. Original Creative Director at 3D Realms, George Broussard, had these inspiring words to share:

Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary. It’s an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshippable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it’s finally time to ‘Come Get Some’. Come be a part of gaming history.

Duke Nukem battles topless babes in strip shooting webgame

Posted on May 18, 2011 by John Scalzo

Stay classy Duke!

The official European site for Duke Nukem Forever has added a new Flash game to keep your trigger finger busy while it waits for the real thing. Loading up “Duke Nudem” at boob-tube.eu will pit gamers against four of Duke’s babes in a round of strip target practice. If Duke wins, the girls get naked. But if the girls win, Duke introduces them to his gun. In other words… Duke always wins.

Putting up a better score than the babes is not as easy you’d think. Vicky Vixen (and her MP5), Blastin’ Jo (who’s packing a heavy-duty shotgun), Deadeye Stacy (sporting an AK-47) and Rifle Rosie (with her M-16) are all crack shots and the Duke will go down in defeat a lot. So you’ll have to practice, practice, practice until you can outlast the babes. Good luck, Duke.

Duke Nukem Forever will finally be released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on June 14.
