Duke Nukem Forever has swept up the sales charts and into videogame infamy. Almost universally reviled and criticised, this monstrous turkey has taken (as we are frequently reminded by Matt and Pat) 12 years of long development hell. What should have been a glorious nostalgia trip with all the polished bells and whistles of the modern era is rather "like I'm time-travelling into the future of the past!" Matt and Pat don't appear to be coming into this as vanilla-Duke players, they have history and knowledge of the retro classics and their disappointment is both palatable and brilliant. The game itself has left many baffled and hurt, this video shows the depths of this feeling while also being one of the funniest in this wildely entertaining series.
