Duke Nukem Movie Rumors

Boy, the ole' Epic Battle Axe had to be sharp this morning...Talk about cutting through the crap! OK, despite the other game blogs "reporting" on the matter, here's the deal and all you need to know...Dude who make the Max Payne movie (Scott Faye) said in an interview that he is "working diligently at making a Duke Nukem movie scenario that will live up to the character and its importance in the video game world." 

That's it. There's no official plan. There's no official flick. End of story...for now.

On a related note, I have the details as to when you can officially expect the enhanced version of Duke Nukem 3D on Xbox Live, but, uh, I can't share them with you just yet;) Stay tuned!!!

Duke Nukem 3D Unloads on Xbox Live Arcade

Its no surprise that here around the Axe we like our carnage. Now while most of us prefer it served with a nice sharp, double-edged something-or-other, we can tolerate a bit more modern implements. For those of you not as melee-dependent as we, rejoice! Duke Nukem 3D, one of the handful of titles to put first-person-shooters on the map, is on its way to Xbox Live Arcade.

According to the official website, DN3D passed final certification Aug 15th (on its first try) and its release is now in the hands of Microsoft. A demo is available in the October 2008 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, which should be hitting stores this week. Some type of "online previews" are promised to begin appearing on the 3D Realms site starting Aug 26th, so keep your sights trained there for more info.

Its encouraging to see so many firm dates coming out of 3D Realms these days. Now if only they'd drop the one that really matters: namely when the epitome-of-development-hell-sequels, Duke Nukem Forever, is finally going to be ready. Oh well, its only been a decade and change, why get impatient now?
