(and for the fans of borderlands the new DLC is called Claptrap's New Robot Revolution also a new patch will be released that increases the cap level from 61 to 69, the DLC will come out in Sept. 28, 2010.)
13 years... jesus lord I remembered when I played Planet of the Babes for the ps1 and after that I eagerly awaited the next duke but it never came... now 13 years later it comes. I'll buy this game whether its good or bad because Duke Nukem flat out rocks. But I swear this game better be a something around the linesss offffffff (Halo, half life, call of duty, bioshock, painkiller, turok) Basically this game better be just flat out 10 out of 10 in near most gamer reviews or I'll just think 13 years of work and thought amounted to "A 1... out of 5"
Once upon a time while Duke was chewing bubble gum, he had a sudden itch. Like all men, he isn't ashamed to reach down and scratch his nuts. Something fell off of his sack in the process; could've been a hair, could've been a skin cell, who knows. By some miracle this worthless sack stain began to grow. Today it calls itself Chuck Norris.
