You can officially peel off that vaporware label and stick it to another game, because
Duke Nukem 3D for the XBLA (not
Forever, it still keeps its vaporware label) just ninja-received a rating from the ESRB. The still to be officially confirmed XBLA release of
Duke 3D was recently given a Mature rating by the ESRB due to its "Blood and Gore, Strong Sexual Content and Violence" to which we say ... BRING IT! Now we just have to play the XBLA release date waiting game, though we're pretty darn sure we
won't see it release anytime in August.

Now if it includes Death Tank Zwei, which was hidden in the Saturn version this would be a must buy. I can dream!

At least we've got the August XBLA games to help with the wait. Geometry Wars 2 is already breaking my thumbs.

This game is going to be hilarious if it comes through with 4 player coop the way some rumors were going.

The August line up is awesome and all but how come they are only releasing one game per wednesday? They have been releasing two almost evey wednesday for awile. Are they only showing the "good" games that are releasing, or is it one per wednesday for all of august? I kno the pub games should be in there somewhere so that should be a double. O well even if there is only one per most wednesday, atleast they are good.

IMO, this game is much better then anything being released in august.
I hope its 400ms points. I just bought doom for 400 ms points to relive some old memories. I had fun, but it only lasted a couple days. I can imgine duke will be the same. Dont want to pay more then 400 points for it

400 points would be a dream come true but highly unlikley.
This game is worth 1200 easy considering it is an uneddited versiojn. HD visuals, online co-op and online dm and team dm modes. Not to mention the single player campaign alone is amazing and about 15 hours long. This game is way more than doom ever was and was the first true 3d fps game ever made.

I think DOOM was cut down to 400 for that "XBLA Hits" thing wasn't it? I think it was 800 originally, so I'd expect this would be too unfortunately.

Not with Duke 3D's multiplayer. It still plays better than most shooters TODAY in deathmatch.

@Tony
Yeah you are right it was an 800 point game at one time. It was well worth it too. for 400 it's a steal. Duke would be a steal at 800 honestly.
Marathon should be 200 points I hate that game.
One of my most regretable purchases next to Boom Boom rocket, warlords and Wing Commander Arena.

Maybe i'm thinking of something else, but didn't Duke3D already get a rating earlier in the year??
