Duke Nukem Forever out now on Mac

True to its word, Aspyr Media put Duke Nukem Forever on the Mac in the month of August, a short while after the game's release on PC. You can pick up the title at GameAgent through Aspyr's website, or on Steam (where you get it, thanks to SteamPlay, for both Windows and Mac), but if you want to go cheap, MacUpdate is running a promotion where the game is $5 off the standard price, and you'll get Jets'n'Guns Gold for absolutely free as well. That's about the best deal I've seen, if you're planning on buying the game and don't mind where it comes from.
Be warned, of course, that the critics didn't really enjoy the long-awaited title all that much, claiming that the design showed its age and depended a little too much on the game's reputation rather than actual innovation. But that hasn't stopped the game from being a financial success anyway, and odds are that if you're a Duke fan and just want to play the game, you're not that worried about how it stands up to the test of time. Hopefully you're low on your supply of gum, because Duke is ready to get back into action.

i agree,I liked the game. Yes, it is funny at times. I thought the game was a fun shooter. I liked that you get rewarded with max health (Ego) by interacting with objects in the world. My only problem with it was that you could only carry two weapons.you can visit http://www.freeonlinegames6.com/Free_Online_Guns_Games

Okay, coming to Duke's defense on this one:
I liked the game. Yes, it is unfunny at times, and offensive at times. It's a Duke Nukem game and it doesn't forget this. I thought the game was a fun shooter. I liked that you get rewarded with max health (Ego) by interacting with objects in the world. My only problem with it was that you could only carry two weapons, but the latest patch makes it so you can haul 4, which is better (I'd still prefer ALL but whatever).
Glad to see it happen, sad to see the game is terrible.
