That was what I was thinking when Duke Nukem Forever came through the letter box. I’d been waiting for 13 years, kept track of all the promises and problems and like so many people at one point or another excepted the truth, that there will be no Duke Nukem Forever.

The story is as simple. “Aliens come to Earth, Duke is sent to kill aliens”. However a more in depths description in my opinion would be, “Over powered aliens come to Earth.

Kinect Sports Season 2 looks to introduce numerous new and exciting sports including; Football (the American version), Skiing,...

It’s hard to review this first person shooter nowadays without comparing it to Call Of Duty, but I shall try none the less.

Homefront is set in the year 2027 and centres around the occupation of the US by the Korean military . The opening movie gives a brief history of the 21^st century to date. A Korea unified by Kim Jong-Il’s son Kim Jong-Yun quickly begins greatly enhancing its military and nuclear presence. At the same time the oil crisis in the Middle East worsens causing the price of oil to sky rocket. This causes a mass exodus in the US weakening the economy further. By this time Kym Jong-Yun has already annexed most of Asia and at this point, a Korean satellite deploys and EMP that cripples the US, leavening it open the Korean invasion force. The occupation has begun.

The game it self is about a resistance group, which you are apart off, trying...
