Put on your sunglasses and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem with today's announcement of the official demo coming to Xbox LIVE June 3.
Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend. Experience the action and creativity derived from the pedigree of one of gaming's most innovative and respected developers. Watch the "Duke Nukem Forever" first access demo announcement trailer.
The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke's life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names.
Duke Nukem Forever is scheduled for release June 10th International and June 14th in North America. For all of our previous Duke Nukem Forever coverage please browse the 360-HQ games database/hub.
