Duke-Nukem 3-D

The rumors and speculation are finally over and Duke-Nukem 3-D is official on Xbox Live Arcade right now, how awesome is that? The game is in it's original form with a few extra features thrown in like the new checkpoint system. Online can be a little laggy at times but who cares, it's freakin' Duke-Nukem 3-D. As you may have already guessed, I really love this game. It played a huge part in my gaming life, I first played it over at my buddies house on his PC and I was blown away. I didn't have a computer at the time so seeing this game in it's 2.5D glory was jaw dropping. The sweet guns, catchy one liners (for the time) and main badass character - this game had me hooked. Years have gone by and I have not really tried to play it since. I tried looking for it on the PS1 and tried installing it on the first computer I got a few years after it came out but neither method worked. So like DOOM before it, I am really looking forward to completing this classic.

Now having these old FPS games on XBLA isn't really following the Arcade theme that XBLArcade was originally shooting for but I guess that was thrown out the window when we started getting Sudoku and crossword puzzle games. So if XBLA is a free for all regarding classic games, get some more classic shooters in there Microsoft. Wolfenstein 3-D, Take No Prisoners, Fallout 1+2, Goldeneye (please God), Outlander, okay maybe not Outlander but I would buy it. You know where I'm going with this, don't flood XBLA with casual garbage and Pub Games. Fill it with all the shooter games of years past, we want to line your pockets with money Microsoft, so put some more great shooters on your platform so we can!
