Sure, Duke Nukem Forever didn’t exactly live up to the hype for many gamers, but the same can’t be said of the 1996 classic Duke Nukem 3D, which rocketed the character to stardom.

Who does not remember the Duke, with his rough colorful dialog, and the cartoon adult content like strippers, etc. Long before Grand Theft Auto appeared on the 'scene', the Duke was the 'worse', the 'bad ass', the 'violent game' you didn't want your kids playing. Now you can re-live those childhood memories 'very soon' on your Android tablet Let's just hope their statement of 'very soon' does not turn out like 'ForEver', which took forever to appear!



Duke Nukem burst onto the scene in 1991 as the wise-cracking, cigar-chomping, woman-loving tough guy who must save the Earth from invading aliens, and does so with all the irreverence and hyper-masculinity of a Hollywood action hero. The third installment in the highly acclaimed Duke Nukem series, Duke Nukem 3D is a first-person shooter game set in Los Angeles "sometime in the early 21stcentury" in which players use increasingly sophisticated weapons in order to defeat aliens and mutated humans attempting to take over the world. The launch of Duke Nukem 3D in the Android Market marks the first time any of the Duke Nukem titles are available on Android devices.

"Duke Nukem is a legend in his own time, and he'd be the first person to tell you that," said Rob Carroll, Tapjoy's Director of Publishing for Tapjoy. "MachineWorks NorthWest has done a great job of bringing the brash, trash-talking character and all his ass-kicking glory to the mobile environment, and we are thrilled to be working with AAA studios like MachineWorks to help bring games of this caliber to Android."


Coming Soon to an Android phone near you... (We Hope!)

Duke3D? GTAIII?
Soon we will need a mouse and keyboard on our phones, and bigger screens!
Wait...this sounds like we are back at the start of PC gaming...

Alot of android tablets have functions for bluetooth keyboards and mouse, and some have HDMI out for that 'bigger' screen feeling.

The HP Touchpad already has this game available.

Frankly, it sucks playing it using on-screen controls.
