It's almost a joke at this point - Duke Nukem Forever has been cooking since 1997. Original developers 3D Realms just couldn't produce the damn thing, leading to the company being downsized and the entire dev team being cut in 2009. Publisher 2K Games was pretty much sick of the whole deal, so they ripped the franchise from its creator's hands and handed it over to Gearbox, developers of Borderlands.

And you know what? The game looks pretty damn sweet! Maybe Duke is just what we need as an antidote to the BLOPS of the world - just a guy who came to kick ass, chew bubblegum, and steal lines from movies. We'll find out when the demo drops early this year.
