Who is Duke Nukem, and why—after all of these years—are we still talking about him? One of our readers has described him as a "character that people actually love or hate. Or feel something about. As opposed to military personnel (1) and (1a)." In a sea of "blandness," according to the reader, the Duke is something to be excited about—outdated graphics and overlong loading screens be damned.

Face it: A shooter set in World War II is going to be called derivative of something, and as a sequel, it'll probably be called derivative of itself. But what Brothers In Arms: Furious 4 most resembles is not the 2009 film Inglorious Basterds, to which everyone connected the game after Ubisoft revealed it on Monday. Furious 4's loudest echoes come from Gearbox's co-operative shooter smash, Borderlands. More »

When Aliens: Colonial Marines' official game announcement billed it as a "true sequel to James Camerson's classic Aliens," diehard fans of the film trilogy took that to mean the game would undo the events of the controversial Alien 3, harshly criticized by Aliens director James Cameron and some of its principal cast. Not so, says the studio making Colonial Marines. More »
