While fun, obnoxious and slightly revolutionary for the waning days of the 486, what did Duke Nukem bring to the table ? Yes, we all got to indulge our inner bastard that chomped cigars, womanized, dispensed one liners like a Tourette's Syndrome teenager on meth and of course, blowing shit up. Hooray. But what can Duke Nukem offer today that isn't already done by another game ? Pixel based shooters like Wolfenstien, Quake and Duke Nukem may be fun for reliving the glory days of 9600 baud modems (remember initialization scripts? ADTD, anyone?), but as a gamer, I'm pretty content with the current field of franchises out there; especially Battlefield and Team Fortress 2.
