Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project continues its silent march toward a possible Xbox Live Arcade release, with the title rated M by Australia's rating board for Xbox 360. The game was previously classified by Korea's Game Rating Board and has yet to be accompanied by an announcement by Microsoft. As in Korea, the Australian classification request was submitted by Microsoft. Take-Two Interactive, the go-to publisher for Duke Nukem-related info, tells Joystiq it is not "publishing this title and [doesn't] have any info."
We've followed up with Microsoft for a nuke of knowledge on what their plans are. In the meantime, the PC version of the competent 2002 side-scroller can be found on GOG.com for $6.

Just be careful when it does come out for XBLA that they don't charge you too much. Cause right now its available over at GOG for $5.99

It'll probably be 800 points and includes leaderboards and other neat features.

Yeah! This game is awesome! I don't think I'll pay too much for it since I own it on PC from GOG.

This game is incredibly AWESOME. I still have the game from when I purchased it @ Walmart back in '02.
I never got around to finishing the game, but I had been thinking about reinstalling it, & giving it a go.
Plays great w/ a controller.

Before you get your titties in a twist, Manhattan Project was a map pack for Duke Nukem 3D back in 1997. So Duke Nukem 3D XBLA is going to get some DLC.

I got this game free back in...2005 (?) when i bought a GeForce 4200Ti. by far the best free/bundled game i've ever gotten. great great side-scrolling game. Like NintendoJunkie says, tho, it's great w/ a controller, tho not bad w/ keyboard either. I still would be tempted to get it on 360 just to play it on a my tv. 46" hdtv > 23" pc monitor

I'm surprised they didn't ban it for excessive AWESOMENESS!
