Well, it ain’t Forever
yet, but Duke Nukem 3D is coming back. 3D Realms confirmed
today that the game has passed final certification with Microsoft and is on
its way to your Xbox 360 as a Live Arcade title in the near future. There’s no
full details yet on what possible upgrades the game will have or when the
release date is but it’s going to have all the full game and online multiplayer,
and if that ain’t enough for you than you don’t know Duke. No price yet either,
but expect it to be around 10-15 bucks as per usual.
Achieve360points
already has the list of Achievements for the title, which shows off some of the
fun stuff you’re going to have to do to, including some easy points, such as the
10 you get for tipping a stripper. The “Game Over” achievement also reveals that
the game will be the “Atomic Edition” with the 4th Episode of the game… very
nice.

I’m also morbidly curious if we’re going to
get some of this stuff going on-
But honestly, Duke Nukem
3D is
one of my favorite FPS games of all time, the first game to really allow you to
interact with a ton of objects in the environment… and not take itself too
seriously. Can’t wait for this one.
