Our View

If you're remotely interested in gaming, you're going to want to pick this up as soon as you can. Pass this up and you'll regret it. We advise getting this through Bioware and downloading the client. A physical copy isn't really necessary and you'll end up downloading the updated client in full anyway.

Broken Wagon Pro Tip

Make sure you check your PC is good enough to play before you buy this. Meet at least the minimum specs and don't think you can get away with it if you can run WoW on maximum - you can't.

If you're remotely interested in any sort of reputation or credibility as a gamer, please avoid this like the plague. Another cheaply produced motion game with a premise designed to appeal to five year old boys.

Duke Nukem Forever: The Doctor Who Cloned Me

Genre: Action/FPS

Platform: Xbox 360, PS3, PC

The Doctor Who Cloned Me is a new expansion pack for Duke Nukem Forever with both single-player and multiplayer content.

Our View

Duke Nukem has been shamelessly wrecked here in the 21st century, running the game on an ancient (in gaming terms) engine and doing nothing really new with the FPS genre. This expansion doesn't do much to rectify these glaring problems and the extra campaign only clocks in at a meagre 3 hours of gameplay.
