Perhaps the Mayans were right and the world will soon be coming to an end. If so, when the final day begins on December 21, 2012, we will look back to this and nod our heads, having seen the signs in things like bees disappearing, birds suddenly dying and Duke Nukem Forever actually hitting store shelves. After a long, long, long wait, the first-person shooter has finally been completed and is due out this month. And technically, the game has… Read More

There are certain things you just never expect to hear. You can see them coming from miles off, everyone can tell you that they are happening, and yet overriding years of experience is a tough thing to do. Such is the case when a press release came to us today announcing that Duke Nukem Forever had gone gold. It must be awfully chilling in Hell today… After 15 years of “development”, the long awaited game is not only finally ready to be… Read More

On May 3, you may actually be able to see your breathe in Hell when it begins to freeze over. The unbelievable has happened, and after years of jokes, years of failed attempts, years as the poster boy for video game franchises that seemed doomed to remain in limbo, Take-Two Interactive has announced that Duke Nukem Forever will hit stores on May 3. If you need a moment to process that, go ahead, it’s understandable. For those who have heard… Read More

Back on April 28, 1997, something interesting happened in the video game world: George Broussard announced Duke Nukem Forever, what was to be the latest installment of a first-person shooter franchise, building on the success of Duke Nukem 3D. Since then, the development of Duke Nukem Forever has become the longest-running game development saga in the history of the video game industry, with developer 3D Realms shutting down earlier this year,… Read More

The saga continues. Like a foul-mouthed, stripper-loving cockroach in a nuclear war, the Duke Nukem franchise simply refuses to die, despite the best efforts of several publishers that have held the rights to the game and failed to produce the nearly mythical Duke Nukem Forever. For those keeping score at home, a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D has been in development since the beginning of 1997. To put that in perspective, the world hadn’t even heard… Read More

At this point, it should come as no surprise that the saga of the mythical video game Duke Nukem Forever—which began in 1997, never shipped, and recently had its development studio shut down—isn't over yet. According to Bloomberg, Take-Two Interactive has filed suit against Apogee Software over the failed game. Apogee is the corporate entity under which Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms operated, but Take-Two owned… Read More

Some titles in the video game industry take on a life of their own—and some titles take on a life of their own without ever shipping to customers. Duke Nukem Forever—a.k.a Duke Nukem 4—is one of the latter: developer 3D Realms has been working on the game for over 12 years, and—despite occasionally teasing gamers with screenshots and other materials—steadfastly refused to commit to any sort of ship date,… Read More

Although 3D Realms turned the once-venerable Duke Nukem franchise into the laughing stock of the gaming work by perennially promising a game than never arrives, the resurrected brand Apogee took a lighter approach to introducing the newest attempt at a Duke game. The company released a trailer on Wednesday that seems to give gamers a wink at its current state of development. Over the course of four minutes, aggressive music plays,… Read More

A new study appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences may offer some insight on how the brain organizes information for navigating the real world. It's long been believed that sleep deprivation impacts individuals' ability to consolidate and integrate memories from a memory one must explicitly recall to a memory which is completely integrated, or automatic. Think of when you're traveling, or move to a… Read More
