Along with that check out all the cool new features being thrown into Duke Nukem Forever some of these have me very excited !!

  • Interact With the World, the Duke Way: Experience a fully interactive and immersive look into Duke’s world. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on white boards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke’s life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names.
  • Kick-Ass Arsenal Puts the F-U Into Fun:  Obliterate enemies in style while giving them the Duke Nukem one finger salute. Prepare to shoot enemies in the face with a bad-ass assortment of shotguns, RPGs, pipe bombs and other trademark Duke Nukem tools of destruction. That’s going to leave a mess!

So put on your shades and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can’t stop our Duke from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it.  Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history.

Duke is back – HAIL TO THE KING BABY !!!

If all this hasn’t whipped you into a frenzy by now, click on the play button below and watch Duke kicking some ASS in the official trailer

EA  and Crytek are planning on releasing a  Crysis 2 multi-player demo. Download the demo on January 25, but only if you are an Xbox 360 owner and a Gold Live member.

“Crysis 2 offers a fresh, new take on multiplayer — one that will stand out and establish the game as a top contender in the first person shooter genre,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. “The Nanosuit gives gamers a sense of power they have yet to experience in any other shooter and having New York City as a backdrop will present a different type of playground with even more possibilities.”  (Like being invisible!)

The  demo will have two game modes.  On the Skyline map you can play Team Instant Action or, deathmatch. The other mode is called Crash Site.  Battle for control, (and points!) of alien drop pods. The full game, developed by Crytek UK, will include six gameplay modes and 12 maps in New York City. In the campaign, 50 multiplayer ranks and  upgrades will be available to earn.

Preordered copies of the Limited Edition include a camouflaged SCAR assault rifle, early access to the Holo Decoy attachment, Platinum Dog Tags and Bonus XP.

Get the game on Xbox 360, PlayStation3 PC on March 22, 2011 in North America. In Europe, the date for release is March 25, 2011.

UTV Ignition and Hothead Games, the creators of the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network game Swarm have released the first installment of ‘Ask Dr. Mike’, a developer video series explaining to players how they’ll control their ‘swarm’ of small blue Swarmites as you control them through (often) suicidal puzzles and hilariously brutal environment. Swarm is the first game to feature mass character control, where players move all the Swarmites at once in a puzzle adventure game.  In the video, Dr. Mike shows off how to jump, group up, huddle and even stack and bash your 50 Swarmites together through the game.

And trust him, He’s a doctor.

Kinect Hacker Turns Hadoukens into Reality…

The Kinect sold like crazy during the holidays and while the technology is interesting and fun, it seems hackers have been tapping into the full potential of the unit. The latest comes a video originally posted over at Shoryuken.com in which a hacker under the name of demize2010 uploaded a video of himself playing Street Fighter with a Kinect. Now it isn’t the most thrilling video to watch as he is not doing chun-li spinkicks or anything like that, but each time he extends his arms, Ken on the screen throws out a Hadouken so this is a very impressive use of the device.

As you can tell by the video, this is mainly just a test run but it is interesting to see just how broad the range of titles the Kinect could be if Microsoft and other developers actually give it a try. Throw in that nunchuck lack controller to actually move that this guy has, and yes, I could very much see myself purchasing a Street Fighter Kinect title. Check out the video for yourself and let us know in the comments section what games you would like to see Kinect-ified.
