The Duke Is Finally Back, For Real
After the first announcement on 1997-04-27 and over eleven years of fresh start after fresh start, Duke Nukem Forever finally comes to your system. At least if your system is an Xbox 360. Jon Siegler, the webmaster of 3D Realms, confirms this on their site: "As has been reported around the net today, we can confirm that the game has indeed passed final certification with Microsoft on Friday the 15th of August (on our first try, no less). That means the game is done — it is now in the hands of Microsoft." Update: 08/19 10:47 GMT by T : Several readers have written with a correction: this announcement is actually about Duke Nukem 3D, rather than Duke Nukem Forever.
That means the game is done -- it is now in the hands of Microsoft.
Therein lies the rub.

Uh... no?
The story is about Duke Nukem 3D for Xbox Live Arcade, NOT Duke Nukem Forever.
Bad summary. Bad.
Don't worry. 2009 will be the year of DNF on the console. Along with Linux on the desktop.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
Let me highlight some ideas for future complaints:
"As has been reported around the net today, we can confirm that [Duke Nukem Forever] has indeed passed final certification with Microsoft on Friday the 15th of August (on our first try, no less). That means the game is done â" it is now in the hands of Microsoft."
Enough said. ;)
