Yeah you heard it.  The Duke is back, and even more crude, and anti-alien as ever.  Full of the famous one-liners everyone’s come to love and repeat, “Duke Nukem: Forever” seems to have made the unlikely transition from vaporware to reality.  3DRealms.Com released this new trailer for the game that been on the development shelf for ten long years. A bit disappointing because it doesn’t show any gameplay!  However, those who can remember back to the days of old….*grin*  Here’s a recap of the DN:F video 3DRealms released back in 1998 that previews some gameplay and cutscenes.

I’ve been waiting a loooooong time for this title.  A while back, I gave up the ghost, and surrendered it to the vaporware category.  Oh Duke - Why do you tease me so?!?  Don’t let me down again ;)  In the immortal words of the Duke himself - “It’s time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I’m all out of gum.”

GeekNews Minicity

Here’s a cute little web browser based “game” that lets you create a city sort of like SimCity.  There’s nothing to do, it’s all automatic, and is completely based on original hits from individual IP addresses.  The more people that visit the city, the more it expands in detail.  On the website it shows what pages to visit in order to increase different factors of the city.

So - go visit GeekNews City and let the population explosion begin!

Retro Game Of The Day

Posted In: Video Games by Patrick at 12:45 am

Pac-Man, the quintessential retro arcade game. Originally created by Namco in the early 1980s and has now been updated for the web by Neave.  I can’t tell you how many hours I lost in this game :)   Now here’s a chance to have a lot more fun in this web adaptation of an 80’s classic.

                             

Use your arrow keys to move the Pac-Man. Press “M” to Mute/Un-mute sound, “P” to Pause/Un-pause the game, and “Q” to quit at any time.

Have a ton of fun!
