Shack PSA: 50% Off Duke Nukem 3D XBLA

February 22, 2010 8:35 AM

The downloadable Xbox 360 edition of 3D Realms' classic shooter Duke Nukem 3D is being honored as Xbox Live's "Deal of the Week" and is now available to Xbox Live Gold members at half-off, making the re-release just 400 Microsoft Points / $5.

The Duke's Xbox Live Arcade iteration hit the scene in September 2008, bringing with it the ability to rewind time post-death and resume play from any point in a singe-player replay, along with online cooperative and competitive multiplayer via Xbox Live.

The week-long sale runs through the end of February 2010. And while the long-awaited sequel Duke Nukem Forever is currently embroiled in a messy legal feud, 3D Realms has teased that "there are other major Duke games in production."

For $.99 more, you can get this game off of gog.com and play it on the PC!

    I bet the multiplayer community is better on xbox live in this case. Might have to buy this now.

    pigvomit, I'm not saying one version is better than the other, but if you want to play it on PC, the price point is nearly the same. :|

    The N64 port was solid.

      Its not like I cared at that point, it was just an awesome experience at the time, and it makes me remember that this game is fun with controller too. But yeah, no chance for me.
