Before Duke Nukem had sunglasses, delivered pithy one-liners and surrounded himself with strippers, he was just kicking alien butt. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Duke Nukem 2, Interceptor Entertainment and 3D Realms have released the 2D side-scroller for iOS.
The upcoming Unreal Engine 3 reboot of Apogee's 1995 classic, Rise of the Triad, doesn't offer much, other than a few game tweaks. But, that may be enough to warrant another playthrough.
Interceptor Entertainment is bringing the game back to life, virtually unchanged from the original. Players can still choose from one of the five main characters, all operatives of the High-Risk United Nations Taskforce (HUNT) out to stop some cultists out to destroy Los Angeles (yeah, it's trite, but the game wasn't made for its in-depth story). Each character has different benefits, but we played Taradino, who was the only character in the original shareware version of the game and the one with perhaps the best all-around stats.
Interceptor Entertainment and Apogee shows off nearly twenty minutes of Rise of the Triad multiplayer gameplay with Gibbing in Faku.
