It would've been so easy to add some proper models etc, but no, we get another Doom conversion.

Actually, it depends entirely how they've done it. If they're basically emulating, then you can only do a like for like replacement of sprites with higher res ones (see the Super Streetfighter 2 HD remix).

To replace them with poly models would require a new engine, and then you're into full-on remake territory.

Sounds good to me. Maybe it could be called Duke Nukem Forever...

A load of new Halo3 achievements have just appeared even though most of them are as yet impossible to get.

(well most of the old ones are impossible for me anyway. lol)

Pre-order Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and get the original Banjo Kazooie free.

Nice, hopefully they offer this in the US as well. Have my copy of Banjo already paid off.

[Jamesac]

Yes, the free Banjo Kazooie is available in the US as well, and was announced a few weeks back. I like the look and got to see a bit of Nuts & Bolts being played, so I'm definitely looking forward to it. Getting the original is a nice bonus.

It apperantly has a Braid style rewind system added for when you die or even take damage.

Now you just need some cars in Fable 2 for cross-cross-promotion.

Yeah, a shit one.

Which goes well with the rest of the game. It really hasn't aged well. I seem to recall it being okay back in the day, until it got overshadowed by Quake a few months later, but playing it now is just nasty. Some really horrible design and shit humour in there. I must have been a lot more tolerant of that sort of thing back in the olden days.

I must have been a lot younger back in the olden days.

Fixed that for you.

I quite enjoyed playing it again, the level design is a bit naff really (find red key, unlock door, find blue key, unlock door, find yellow key etc.). The weapons are quite fun and the puerile humour is kinda funny because it isn't funny. Altough to be honest, I doubt if I will bother playing all 39(!) levels.

Dukematch is shit though.

Blood is still the better game I reckon, and has been getting some play time now that it works in DOSbox.

Duke even makes an appearance:
