The BBC reports that Belgian researchers have proved the common sense adage that more sleep is good for your brain. Volunteers played Duke Nukem, going on place-finding missions. Players had to find various locals as scientists mapped their brain activity with MRI.

I heard Duke Nukem Forever is going to be released as part of a package deal, which includes a Chinese Democracy CD and tickets to the Simpsons' feature-length film.

I dunno, Duke Nukem makes sense to me - it's probably got the easiest level editor out there.
