New Video Game Releases: 6/13 – 6/19 – Come Get Some

The King is back… All Hail the King!  Duke Nukem represented all that was good about America in the 90′s – steroids, hot women, and kicking ass (not to mention chewing gum).  Yet, as the King ruled the 90′s with Duke Nukem 3D, it was the promise of the hyped sequel that never came, Duke Nukem Forever, which has captured our attention for so many years.  A game that stayed in and out of development for more than fourteen years.  Retooled and reworked multiple times, surviving the demise of creator 3D Realms.

This is a day I thought I’d never see and will likely pinch myself the upon receiving my copy.  Duke Nukem Forever finally releases for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC this week!  Perhaps motivated by Duke’s return, Alice returns with her twisted version of Wonderland in Alice: Madness Returns for the PS3, Xbox and PC.

Other notable releases include  the long awaited Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the 3DS, the breathtaking Child of Eden for the Xbox 360 and the multiplatform movie tie-in of Michael Bay’s Tranformers: Dark Side of the Moon.

Pick of the Week: I have to admit that Child of Eden looks great and I am looking forward to getting my grubby mitts on it.  However, being that I’m an old school gamer who was old enough to play Duke Nukem 3D upon its release in ’96 and waited 15 years for the sequel, I really have no choice.  COME GET SOME - Duke Nukem Forever baby!
