Video Game Review: Duke Nukem Forever

Weirdly, this is the game's biggest flaw, since it's not like Duke's adventure through sin city isn't fun at times; it is. But when you're in the middle of a gunfight against pigcops shrunk to action figure size and the game is actively creating

Duke Nukem Forever: More On The Way

Win a Duke Nukem Action Figure | Botchweed

UPDATE: Both figures have been given away, although be sure to sign up as we have another contest coming within the next 48 hours!

Duke’s won: 2/2

To celebrate the launch of what’s being heralded as one of the most distinctly average and over hyped games of all time, we’ve decided we’d get in the party spirit, and join the wild celebrations that so many seem to be lavishing upon Duke. This is your chance to win a genuine Duke Nukem Action Figure (fully licensed).

He’s 7 inches (I’ve already thought of them all, I honestly see no point in typing one out. You can think of one for yourself!) and comes with his 1911 pistol and a cigar (yes, he seriously does!)

How to win!

So what do I have to do to enter? All you have to do is sign up to Botchweed and head over to our Arcade section and beat my (Eddy’s) high score on Snake which is currently 1940. In true Duke style i’m so overconfident and such an arrogant asshole that I am more than happy to provide a prize to the first person who manages to beat it.

Entry Rules:

Must be a member of Botchweed.com All countries can enter The first person to beat the current snake score of 1940 will be given the prize All administrator decisions are final Scores will only be accepted if entered into the table In the extremely unlikely event that your highscore for some reason doesn’t get entered (it’s automatic so incredibly unlikely) then we will review the case via our admin panel, unfortunately if we don’t find said entry, then the contest will continue and you will just have to try again.
