The year was 1997, and I'd just begun writing about video games professionally. Like most of my fellow gamers, I was pretty excited when 3D Realms announced that it was working on a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D, the runaway PC hit that it had released just a year before.

Duke Nukem Forever DLC introduces The Doctor Who Cloned Me this Tuesday

Upcoming patch to expand Duke Nukem Forever's weapon limit [update: 'unlikely' for consoles]
Say what you will about how well Duke Nukem Forever treated the Duke Nukem 3D legacy, but one mechanic in particular is very un-Duke. Specifically, it's very strange that Duke Nukem Forever limits our brash hero's arsenal to a paltry two guns at a time. An upcoming patch aims to fix that. ...
