New Duke Nukem Mobile Games Available
 There's a couple of new Duke Nukem games available for your cellular phones that you should be aware of.
First up is "Duke Nukem Mobile II: Bikini Project". This is a sequel to last year's Duke Nukem Mobile game. Bikini Project has new boss fights, new weapons and enemies - just more of what you loved from the original Duke Mobile game. There's a couple of good reviews online, too from Gamespot and IGN.
Here's some of what Gamespot has to say:
- "Duke Nukem Mobile II: Bikini Project stacks up as a worthy sequel to the original mobile alien mauler"
- "Keeps the action hot and heavy".
- "Duke Nukem can now takes to the skies using a jetpack! You also have a a great new weapon.. the flamethrower. It can easily dispose of large clumps of enemies.
Here's some of what IGN has to say:
- "Damn cool monsters"
- "Spot on gameplay"
- Duke Nukem Mobile II: Bikini Project brings back one of the toughest hombres for a repeat performance that will surely entertain fans of his rock-'em-sock-'em style of action.
If you want to read more about Bikini Project, you can do so on our website here, which also contains a list of the cell phones the game is available for, as well as screenshots and some other information.
 The second game we have to talk about is Duke Nukem Mobile 3D.
This is a 3D Duke Nukem game for your cell phone. It contains much of the same hot action that was in the Zodiac Tapwave version of Duke Nukem 3D from last year. If you have a supported cell phone (see page for details), then you're not going to want to miss this action. Gamespot & IGN have some good reviews of this title, too.
Gamespot currently has this game listed as their #5 most popular Mobile title with a score of 8.2 out of 10!
Here's some of what Gamespot has to say:
- Amazing graphics, especially the character models; Some classic Duke quotes; Controls surprisingly well; Extremely hectic firefights
- Duke looks phenomenally good and packs some of the most frenetic firefights
- The game introduces new challenges at the perfect pace; you'll always be overwhelmed just the right amount.
- Duke Nukem will have you blasting away droves of aliens of various shapes, sizes, and levels of firepower.
Here's some of what IGN has to say:
- There is no shortage of content in Duke Nukem Mobile 3D. With 21 levels that can be played on multiple difficulty settings, there is some real meat here.
- The animations never seem to take a hit, and the framerates doesn't chug.
- I was pleasantly surprised to see how populated some of the levels can get
You can check out more about the title on our page for it, which includes screenshots, links, and a complete list of carriers and phones. Duke Nukem Mobile 3D is currently available for Verizon & Alltel in North America with Sprint & ATT/Cingular coming soon.

Duke Nukem Mobile
 One of the hottest sections of gaming now is mobile gaming. Whatever the platform, handheld and mobile gaming is extremely popular lately, and we thought we'd take this moment to tell you about Duke Nukem's entry into this platform. We're talking about Duke Nukem Mobile.
Duke Nukem Mobile is available for a couple of platforms - one being the Zodiac Tapwave (a Palm based handheld), and the other is for cellular phones.
You can now play Duke Nukem anywhere you want - the king of action heroes, Duke Nukem is bringing his kick-butt style of alien extermination to the world of mobile gaming. One man versus 1000 aliens -- it's hardly fair! But don't expect Duke to show pity as he blasts each one into quivering goo.
You can check out some screenshots and other game information for this title on our Duke Nukem: Mobile page here on the 3D Realms site. As an added bonus, you can play a demo of the cellular phone version of Duke Nukem Mobile at our page, so make sure and check it out.
Before you do that, check out a few quotes about the game from several online reviews:
"Nukem looks and sounds absolutely fantastic. The level graphics are bright and beautiful, the slavering hordes of invaders are appropriately monstrous, and Duke looks as hard-bitten and grizzled as ever." - Gamespot
"The Duke debut on your handset is an impressive one." - IGN
"Duke Nukem is great download thanks to its action pedigree, gorgeous engine and replay value" - Wireless Gaming Review

Max Payne Gameboy Advance Reviews
 In December of 2003, Rockstar games released Max Payne 1 for the Game Boy Advance. This is a port of the original game that covers the action and plot of the first Max Payne pretty closely. If you have a Game Boy Advance, and like Max, you should probably check this out, as it's a good way to get your Max fix while away from your computer, or your game console. We have a few reviews today for you.
The first one comes from the February 2004 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine. Here's a bit of what they had to say:
* ... it looks much better on the GBA than you'd expect
* Gritty and unforgiving, Max will make your Game Boy bleed fun.
* The game offers an atmospheric experience unlike any other Game Boy Advance title.
The review gives it an 8 out of 10. To check out the rest of what they have to say, hit your local newsstands and look for the February 2004 issue of EGM magazine.
Next is a review from ign.com in which they had this to say about the game:
* Max Payne is a surprisingly awesome conversion that almost came out of nowhere.
* The Game Boy Advance version of Max Payne is an excellent title that brings a lot of new style gameplay to the handheld.
* Max Payne features as much carnage as a Paul Verhoven action flick
IGN gave it a 9 out of 10, awarding the game their "Editor's Choice" title. Make sure to head over to their site and read the review.
Third and finally today we have a review by noted Max Payne fan, Katherine Baskin. More commonly known as "The Baskinator" (whose name Remedy used as a hidden easter egg in Max Payne 2), Katherine had this to say about the game in her review titled "Payne in my Pocket"...
* The graphics are simply stunning.
* The graphics, music and even the controls are slick.
* And, possibly more important than anything, it�s finally given me, and many others, the chance to introduce Max Payne to a different gaggle of gamers: Nintendo fanatics.
If you own a Game Boy Advance, you should run to your local software store today and pick this up. You'll be glad you did. This editor also played the game in prep for writing this piece, and I have to say that the game was far better than I was anticipating as well. If you're a GBA fan, you'll enjoy this. You can also order a copy through Amazon.com by clicking here or on the box art shown above.

Duke Nukem Advance is Best FPS
 Well, according to the editors and readers over at IGN it is. Duke Nukem: Advance was recently voted both "Best GBA FPS of 2002" by both the IGN staff, as well as the readers. Here's what IGN had to say about it:
It was a while in the making, but Take 2 finally released Duke Nukem Advance in the summer of 2002...and it was good. Really good. It brought back the classic shooting action of 3D Realms' Duke Nukem 3D PC design, all the while throwing in missions and storyline unique to the GBA game. Come get some.
If you've never checked out Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, you can check out some information we have on the game here on our Duke Nukem Advance pages, or you can order yourself a copy of the game from Amazon.com, as well!

Duke Nukem Advance Review
 The gaming news/review site ign.com has a review of Duke Nukem: Advance up this week. It's a very good review of the game. Unfortunately, you have to be a paid IGN subscriber to read the entire thing, but we've gotten a few choice tidbits out of it.
Duke Nukem Advance is without a doubt the most fun first-person shooter on the GBA to date.
The Game Boy Advance game looks and sounds like the computer title, but Torus has created a brand new adventure and a new plot surrounding the familiar action and characters.
But goofy plot aside, it's the gameplay that matters...and Duke Nukem Advance is top-notch.
What's more, the game even has a look up/look down feature in its controls...it may be the same unnecessary, graphical cheat that 3D Realms pulled off in the PC game, but it's the first game to offer this control on the GBA.
And even with the limited control layout of the Game Boy Advance, the developers managed to map the important moves to all the buttons without making it feel "cluttered."
There are almost a half-dozen of these games on the handheld as of this writing, and the latest, Duke Nukem Advance, is definitely the best.
There's plenty more where those quotes came from, but you'll need to be an IGN subscriber to read the entire article. If you don't want to do that, you can read more about the game over at our own Duke Nukem Advance page here on the 3D Realms site.

Duke Nukem Advance
 Coming shortly (it's currently slated to hit the streets next month) is a new original platform Duke Nukem game. Entitled "Duke Nukem Advance", this title is for (you guessed it) the Nintendo Gameboy Advance platform.
We have a page up on our web site for the title now, and the page has some info about the game, as well as some screenshots, and other cool things like a link to an interview with one of the folks from Torus (the people who made the game). Speaking of that interview, here's a few quotes from it:
GT: What advances in the alien AI will we be seeing in Duke Nukem Advance?
Brian: Originally we wanted to have more attack patterns for some of the new enemies but in the end we felt it more important to concentrate on other areas instead. Plus the fact that the AI we had in place turned out really well so we stuck with that.
GT: Duke Nukem Advance is entering a crowded field of top-notch fps titles that have already been released on the GBA. What features does Duke Nukem Advance sport that will set it apart from the rest?
Brian: The first thing you will notice is the frame-rate. It is a much faster game than the predecessors.
There is a lot more to check out in this interview - Brian Uniacke from Torus has a lot to say about the title's development history. (Link removed Aug 2006, no longer online)
And while you're reading about it, make sure to head on over to Amazon.com and pre-order your copy of Duke Nukem Advance. And if you don't have a GameBoy Advance - no problem, you can order a Gameboy Advance system from Amazon.com, too.

Duke Nukem Advance Best FPS of Show
We were just informed that the forthcoming Duke Nukem Advance title was named "Best First Person Shooter" for the Gameboy Advance at the recent E3 show in Los Angeles. The IGN site posted their GameBoy Advance awardsrecently, and in it, Duke Nukem Advance got it's award! Here's what IGN had to say about it:
Wow. After seeing super early shots of this game back in September, we had no idea that Duke Nukem Advance would turn out this good. It's everything the PC Duke Nukem 3D was back in the day, but in handheld form...and that, folks, is a very good thing.
We will have more on this title shortly, but we thought you'd like to see this award. For those of you with a Gameboy Advance, make sure to check it out when it's released (which is "When it's done"). IGN does have some more information about the game available here, and Amazon.com is also taking pre-orders on the title, but again, we cannot vouch for the release date they have listed there.

Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes is the Worst...
 ...game for children in 2000, according to a recent report on video game violence. The National Institute on Media & the Family released a video and computer game report card today. The group credited our industry for adopting some of their recommendations, but still criticized stores for selling violent games to children. In their report card, they rate a pile of games against several categories, such as fear, language, nudity, illegal & harmful activities, etc. Anyway, of all the games they list on this page (and there are a lot), only one got their worst rating in every category, and that was "Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes".
In their report on Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes, this is said about the game: Due to extreme violence and its portrayal, frightening situations, illegal/harmful behavior, offensive language, nudity and sexual content this game is not recommended for children or teenagers.
That's right, Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes is the #1 worst game for children in 2000! Of course, we at 3D Realms feel that decision should be up to the parents, and with that in mind, we want to let all the parents out there know that the game is still available for sale. If you have a Sony Playstation (either 1 or 2), make sure to head over to our online store and buy it!
If you want to read more about this, there's a story over on CNN today that talks about how the video game industry has gotten better grades (according to some US Senators, anyway). You can also read more about the game at our Land of the Babes page, or at n-Space, the creators of the game.

Land of the Babes is the Amazon Editor's Pick!
This morning brings us the cool news that Amazon.com has picked the new PSX game "Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes" as their Editor's Pick game. Here's what Amazon had to say about the game..
Aliens have wiped out Earth's men and are now looking to enslave the planet's women for their own hybridization program. Who's going to save the babes of Earth? Duke Nukem, that's who. Working with the Unified Babe Resistance, Duke must counteract the aliens through 14 levels of first-person search and destroy. He'll face mutant primates, Hoglodytes, Pig cops, and Octabrains with an awesome arsenal at his disposal, including such weapons as blasters, flamers, grenade launchers, and Duke's new weapon of choice, the .50 caliber Desert Eagle pistol.
Duke Nukem: Planet of Babes features four challenging training areas and six multiplayer levels, each with its own secret areas; high-tech items including infrared goggles, jetpack, and teleporter; and an ego meter that shows how well Duke's able to go on with the crusade. The game's story is propelled by 25 interstitial sequences including an unlockable bloopers sequence. Parents should note: with middle school locker-room humor and no small amount of action-game violence, this game is not intended for kiddies.
If you'd like to see what the editor's pick page looks like, you can click here to see a screenshot taken from the Amazon.com Editor's pick page. Also, there's reviews from users over at Amazon's site, here's a sampling of them:
Reviewer: Vince Anderson (see more about me) from Rockford, IL USA
More Duke action with new Dukisms and Duke type levels. EXACT same setup/game-play as "Time to Kill". TTK is my favorite psx game, so I was really excited to get "Land of the Babes." But in the end, if you are a huge Duke Nukem fan like myself, than this is definitely one to get your mits on. Buy this game and "Come get some!"
Reviewer: A Gamer from Atlanta, GA
Duke is back and is as fun as ever. The guns are big and the aliens are cool. The graphics are hit and miss, but the levels have lots of secret areas to explore. Some characters look better then others, but the weapon effects are cool for a playstaion game. The levels are fun and well designed with fun missions like saving babes and hunting down lots of bad guys. Oh ya, and Duke is the man! Nuff said.
Don't have the game? No problem - click on the cover art below to order your own copy. Want to read more about the game? Check out our Land of the Babes page, or hit n-Space, the folks who wrote the game.

Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes Review!
The Land of the Babes reviews are starting to come in, and here's the first one we noticed. It's from PSX Nation, and their review has these things to say:
*One of the best parts is always hearing Duke's one-liners, of which there are plenty of new ones. Yes, the inevitable "Waaasssssuuuupppp" is in the game as well as plenty of other witty phrases.
*The weaponary once again is cool as I was able to pickup a nice laser gun right from the beginning.
*If you loved Time to Kill, then you're probably going to love Land of the Babes as well.
Their review is more of a preview, as it was written shortly before the game was finished, but they still have some coolness to expound upon - check it out!
Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes has been released for the Sony Playstation and is in stores now! We're pretty happy with the way it turned out and it's by far the best Duke Nukem console game to date. n-Space did a great job. So while you're waiting for those back ordered PS2's, run down to your local store and check out Land of the Babes.
Or, you can click on the cover art here to be taken to Amazon's page for Land of the Babes, where you can purchase your own copy online!

Land of the Babes Interview!
As Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes is scheduled to street this week, we felt it was time to bring you another interview with Phil Gelber of N-space. Phil is the producer of Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes, and he has a lot to say about the game. Here's a small bit.
Q: Well, Land of the Babes is finished now, and will shortly be out there for the world to see. How do you feel about that?
A: Personally I feel proud, relieved, and excited all at the same time. Creating a game that stands up to the high standards of 3D Realms is a lot of hard work, and my team got the job done. I hope the world enjoys it and has as much fun as we did making it.
Q: How much of an irritation or an issue was it regarding the name change from Planet of the Babes to Land of the Babes?
A: It was pretty irritating from the standpoint that we had been using the name for a while, and although it was a great name, Land of the Babes wasn't a take off of Planet of the Apes. To be honest, there really isn't enough material to base a good game on Planet of the Apes.
There's a lot more that Phil has to say about Land of the Babes in this interview. Check it out today! For more information on Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes, make sure to check our our Land of the Babes page.

Duke Nukem: Color Gameboy Team Info
 A couple of months ago, a Duke Nukem game much in the vein of the first two PC Duke games was released for the Nintendo Color Gameboy, appropriately titled "Duke Nukem: Color Gameboy". We've been asked since the game was released for some information on the folks who developed it. Well, that would be Torus in Australia, and we have some team info online now, as well as a group photo! If you're familiar with our Time to Kill & Planet of The Babes pages, you'll be familiar with this team photo.
Check out the Color Gameboy page for the team photo, as well as some other information about this game!
Make sure to check it out today - and read up on the only Duke Nukem game for the Color Gameboy console. You can also purchase a copy for your Color Gameboy if you don't have one already. No Color Gameboy? No problem, you can purchase a Color Gameboy too (from Amazon.com).

Planet of the Babes Preview
n further Planet of the Babes news, the site checkout.com has posted a preview of Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes. While a short preview, they certainly seemed to like the game, here's a bit of what they had to say about it:
Duke Nukem and beautiful babes. A combination as natural as peanut butter and jelly or milk and cookies. If there's such a thing as nirvana, I'd say Duke will have reached it when he finds himself on the Planet of the Babes this May.
The first new feature is the ego-based health system, which replaces the typical health bar that's become so stale. So you'll have to keep an eye on Duke's ego, or he'll need a lot more than therapy.
Make sure to check out the full preview, and while you're at it, check out our own Planet of the Babes page, where we have several screenshots, an interview with the development team, among other things.
Also, if you're interested, you can pre-order the game from Amazon.com by clicking on the buy it button below. 3D Realms will not be selling this title directly, and it is a Playstation exclusive title.

Planet of the Babes Babe
Coming next month is the second original Sony Playstation title, "Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes". This Sony PSX only title is being brought to you by the same folks who brought you the smash "Duke Nukem: Time to Kill" title. n-Space (the game's author) has updated their web site with the latest entry of their POB development diary update. Here's what they have to say in their update:
The PoB team has put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into Duke's latest adventure for the Sony PlayStation. This game rocks! What's our status you ask? We are not done yet...but we are very close. To be exact, we've been in the "post-beta" stage of development for months and we have been working closely with 3DRealms to put the finishing touches on the game.
A good game is all about the attention to details. The game should act and behave as you would expect it to. It should be fun. For a Duke game this means, if you see something cool...you should be able to interact with it. And we've gone to great lengths to ensure you have lots of cool things to see and do throughout the game...from start to finish!
Now in a game called "Planet of the Babes"...the team had to go to great lengths to get those details right, as you can tell from the images included here...we are killing ourselves to get the details just right;-)
The pictures shown here are of a model named 'Pina Rosana Porceddu'. According to n-Space, the model is whom the team used as an in game reference. You can click on either of the shots below for a larger image. Don't forget to check out the n-Space web site for additional photos, as well as more on Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes (as well as their other game titles).

Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes Stuff
There's been a few tidbits floating around recently about the forthcoming Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes game from 3D Realms & N-Space. We thought we'd collect them together here for you.
First up is a short interview with Phil Gelber (the producer) by FGN Online. In this interview, Phil talks briefly about the number of levels, and a couple of the game's weapons. Here's a small tidbit..
As for the Duke arsenal, a total of 20 weapons will be on hand. "I just love the underwater torpedo launcher," said Gelber. "It causes massive amounts of damage."
There's more - including the talk about levels in the game, so check it all out.
Second is a short preview from the IGN web site, which is actually part of a larger article entitled "The Playstation's Last Stand". This article talks about the various games coming out this year for the Sony Playstation, before the Playstation II hits here in the states. This is a very short preview - the full text is here:
Duke Nukem. Polygonal women with very large breasts. What more do you need in a videogame? Well, how about a new Ego-based health system, twenty-four action packed levels, high-tech weaponry, and a wide array of enemies that include mutant gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans? That basically sums up Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes. Oh, did we mention polygonal women with very large breasts? I guess we did.
There is more to this article if you're interested in Sony Playstation games, so check it out.
Also, don't forget to check out our own Planet of the Babes pages, where you can see some screenshots, and read about the game. You can also pre-order the game from Amazon.com if you're in a big hurry, and can't wait to get the latest all new Duke adventure delivered straight to you and your Playstation!
Please note that the artwork shown above is not the 100% final version of the art. It might yet change before the game's release.

Duke Nukem: Color Gameboy Review
The IGN gaming news site has posted a review of the Duke Nukem: Color Gameboy game that came out a few months ago. They really liked the game, here's a bit of what they had to say:
*As side scrolling platformers go on the Game Boy Color, this is definitely one of the best.
*I'm really surprised how well Duke Nukem came out on the Game Boy Color� Torus managed to put together one of the best side-scrollers on the Game Boy Color thus far.
*What Torus has done is base a Game Boy Color game based on the original PC series of Duke Nukem games.

Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes Press Release
We've just been alerted to the existence of a press release online regarding the forthcoming Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes, and we wanted to bring it to you now. The press release has several quotes from GT Interactive, as well as some game information. We've mirrored the press release locally, and here's a few choice tidbits from it:
In Earth's distant future, an alien race has launched a full-scale invasion, sinking the human population into anarchy and terror. The aliens then embark on their hideous primary objective: wiping out the male population so they can enslave women for use in their hybridization program. However, some women managed to escape, and united to form the Unified Babe Resistance (UBR). But the scanty UBR defenses are being annihilated by a powerful new alien weapon, and with all hope nearly lost, they turn to Earth's long distant history and legendary hero, Duke Nukem. Using a time portal device, the UBR track down Duke and make his choice very simple: Help them or there will be no chicks in the future. Without hesitation, Duke answers, ``Let's Rock.''
``Planet of the Babes shoots high and scores, a true milestone release in the Duke Nukem franchise,'' said Tony Kee, Vice President of Marketing for GT Interactive. ``Planet of the Babes delivers mature, compelling game play that pushes the envelope with no-holds-barred combat, high-resolution graphics, a new and very innovative Duke survival system that replaces the typical health system found in all other shooters, and lest we forget, lots of babes.''
There's lots more in this press release about the game, so make sure to check it all out in our press release area. Also, you can read more about Planet of the Babes, including checking out some screenshots, and learning about the game developers over at our Planet of the Babes page
One other thing to mention - this press release was issued by GT Interactive, the publishers of the game. In it, they mention a May release date. Please keep in mind, the official release date for any 3D Realms title that is not out yet is "When it's done".
If you are interested in pre-ordering it, you can do so at Amazon.com by clicking on the buy it graphic below!

Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes Preview
New today is a preview of the upcoming Sony Playstation exclusive title, "Duke Nukem: Planet of the Babes". This preview over at Gamefan has a couple of screenshots and some text describing the game. Here's a bit of what they have to say..
Avid disciples of the world of Duke already know that the key to much of Nukem's success is the quirky, ridiculous story lines featured in his games. Well, good news, Duke-lovers, Planet of the Babes upholds this tradition with an entertaining (and sometimes tantalizing) adventure.
The most noticeable cosmetic addition to the sequel to last year's blockbuster would have to be the new and improved lighting effects; Planet of the Babes features some of the gnarliest fire effects ever seen in a PlayStation game, using various lighting techniques to produce the game's action-packed mood.
Beefed-up graphics, lightning-fast gameplay, and cool (yet politically incorrect) story lines have never hurt games in the past--let's hope the folks behind PotB keep up the good work.
Make sure to check out this preview over at Gamefan today!
