OnLive Sale – Duke Nukem Forever –
Last Deal of Five Dollar Friday Finale
By: Devon Bradley
As Gearbox (the developers of Duke Nukem Forever) would say, “He’s back”, and he’ll only cost you $5 ($3.50 for PlayPack Subscribers) if you buy the game today on OnLive. This game released on other consoles with the usual $60 price tag just about 4 months ago. Today you can snag it for a fraction of that price! Granted, the game received rather poor reviews, followed by a big price cut (now cost $19.99), and has a metascore of 54. OnLive users seem to have rated it about 3.5/5. The game is both single and multiplayer. It is also playable both by mouse and keyboard, or gamepad.
Here is a bit more about the game courtesy of OnLive:
Did the Alien bastards not learn their lesson the first time? Duke has been on hiatus for some time now, kicking back and franchising himself on the fame he gained from saving Earth from the first invasion. The Aliens have returned to Earth yet again, messing up Duke’s sweet routine of dirty leisure habits.
The Alien invaders are stealing Earth’s women, especially the hot ones! And they drank Duke’s beer.
This. Won’t. Stand. As Duke battles his way through waves of aliens, the once beautiful gambling haven and Duke Nukem franchise chains are crumbling before his eyes. Time to bring the pain!
Ego, and then Some: Step into the shoes of Duke Nukem, the steroidal One-Man Army who never fails and always gets the Babes.
Bust a Gut: Duke pulls no punches. He does and says the things you are thinking. Duke’s constant stream of hilarious one-liners throughout the game will have gamers rolling.
World Interactivity: Spend as much time as you want shooting hoops, lifting weights, playing pinball, pool, air hockey, and slots.
Scale & Variety: This game has it all; packed with explosive FPS action, outlandish settings, vehicle driving, and puzzle solving – gamers will never tire of the endless FUN.
Multiplayer Like No Other: Duke re-envisions classic modes of play in his own hilarious and humiliating way. Shrink your opponent and squash him with your foot. Freeze and shatter him. Attach explosives to his back. Roll a pipe bomb between his legs, or just frag him old-fashioned with a rocket.
