News out of PAX is that Gearbox (of Borderlands fame) have picked up development of Duke Nukem Forever. The release-date is a tentative 2011, but they provided a hands-on fully playable demo for people on the show floor. [Kotaku.com](http://Kotaku.com) has numerous reports, a hands-on impression as well as a full interview with Gearbox Prez Randy Pitchford.

As the game is now the living, breathing avatar of the word vapourware, I remain sceptical. (And unless the first level somehow makes your testicles grow, it’ll get slated all the way to hell.)

What **Rick** means is, next time, scroll down a bit before starting a thread.

Ack, my bad. Had this on preview while I went out to get groceries and made dinner. Closing in favour of the other one.
