Perhaps the longest running gag in the videogame industry is still running, as publisher Take-Two Interactive has announced another delay for Duke Nukem Forever. Slated for a May 2011 release before the latest announcement, Take-Two is now promising the game will hit North American stores June 14, 2011 and launch internationally June 10. The upcoming (we think) first-person shooter has been in development since 1997. It’s become an industry joke, synonymous with the term “development hell.” Take-Two acknowledged as much in its press release. Keeping with Duke Nukem’s off-color humor, the announcement notes that “Duke Never Comes Early.” It’s safe to say we passed any chance of him showing up early around, oh, 1999 or so. Developer Gearbox Software got in on the joke, calling this the shortest delay in the game’s history.

Duke is back and he wants his throne back. Gearbox Software is making sure no one will ever be able to kill Duke by purchasing the Duke Nukem property. While we wait to see if Duke Nukem Forever was worth the delays, grab your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and relive Duke’s past for free.

Another PAX has come to a close, and once again its three days of events were filled with highlights from game demos, concerts, contests, and panels. But nothing can top the earth-shattering news during its first day when attendees and gaming journalists alike found out that Duke Nukem Forever had risen from its development grave thanks to its publisher 2K Games and Gearbox Software. How can this be?

A couple days ago Gearbox software announced it would be completing development on the once mythical Duke Nukem Forever. Not only is Gearbox making Duke Nukem Forever a reality, it has acquired the Duke Nukem intellectual property in its entirety.

Speaking with Edge Online, Miller detailed the errors that the Payne film made. One error he mentioned was…

Apogee Software Ltd has woken up from its deep slumber and announced Duke Nukem Trilogy for PSP and DS handhelds. But it hasn’t bothered with any worthwhile details of Duke Nukem Trilogy, and there is no word on Duke Nukem Forever that has been in development for the past 11 years. All we know is that Apogee will start releasing new Duke Nukem chapters beginning Summer 2009 for the two handhelds. The three chapters are named Critical Mass, Chain Reaction and Proving Ground.

Apogee frugally revealed the following details about the upcoming chapters
