DNF Teaser Trailer

Well, the teaser trailer for Duke Nukem Forever did indeed get released. You can download the full thing or see a Flashified version at Shacknews. They also have a timeline of DNF's ten-year development. My only comment from the video is this: "Yeah, that's Duke alright." I only wonder who Broussard has naked pictures of so that they could keep funding for the game this long.

Of course, if Team Fortress 2 finally saw the light of day, why not DNF?

The Master comments: That was a "teaser" trailer? That was almost as bad as the Deus Ex 3 trailer, which may take the cake as the most uninformative trailer of all time.

DNF Teaser Trailer Tomorrow?

From the "you have GOT to be freaking kidding me department" 3D Realms' George Broussard posted on their forums that a teaser trailer for Duke Nukem Forever will be released tomorrow. Could we actually get a glimpse of the game that has redefined the term "vaporware"? I'll believe it when I see it.

GoY: Ratchet and Clank Future

Well, I have to award my prestigious (as if) Game of the Year award to Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. In my mind this is the "killer app" that the Playstation 3 has been waiting for. When we first got it and I played through the first level, there were all kinds of shouts of "Wow! Look at that! Did you see that?" from my family as they watched. This clearly was not just a rehashing of a PS2 game. There's so much going on and the PS3 never slows down for so much as a second. I've played through the game three times so far, so that should tell you something right there. The weapons are interesting and a blast to use. The gadgets (especially the disco-ball-like Groovitron) are hilariously fun. If you don't like the Ratchet series of games, you probably won't like this one either. Of course, if you don't like the Ratchet games I have to question if you have a soul. Insomniac Games strikes again.

My only complaint with the game is the ending. It's a cliffhanger and not in a good way. I won't spoil it for those who haven't finished it yet. The only good thing about it is that it pretty much guarantees that Insomniac will be making yet another R&C game at some point. I can't wait.
