Top Ten Coolest Game Characters - Nintendo is not cool.

Gaming site screwattack.com has posted a cool segment in which they detail their "Top 10 Coolest Game Characters". The rules are simple...only one character per game franchise can make the list and you gotta be LL Cool baby!

Duke Nukem came in as Number 1 on their list, citing Duke's phrases, and his general badassedness (is that a word...it is in the world of Duke Nukem!). They particularly seemed to enjoy one of the cinematics from Duke Nukem 3D. "I'll rip off your head, and..." You remember the rest. :)

Of course Top Ten lists are only fun because noone ever completely agrees with them, and that will certainly be true in this case. This list may actually be more interesting for who DIDN'T make it. Let's just say there are going to be some very irate Nintendo fans.

Check out the entire segment in this clip from Youtube.



No Marcus Fenix? Hmmm. Who do you think should of made the list?

'Oblivion' composer to score Duke Nukem Forever

Whenever we hear anything substantial regarding our favorite vaporware, Duke Nukem Forever, we feel (shocked) obligated to report it.

It seems Jeremy and Julian Soule, the brothers who composed the music for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, have been chosen to lend some mood music to our favorite crew-cutted hero's long-awaited return to gaming.

1UP has tied together several semi-related strings of info to come to this conclusion. It makes some sense as Julian Soule does have a previous relationship with 3D Realms - he scored last year's Prey, which they developed.

If this bit of news is true, it would seem to indicate that DNF is finally nearing completion. Could it be true? Could Duke Nukem Forever finally be close to releasing? Maybe before year's end?

It'll be done "when it's done", we know!
