John posted the reveal trailer for Duke Nukem Forever earlier today and there was a quick buzz among fans eagerly anticipating the return of the iconic character. The long-awaited game has finally made its way to the Xbox 360, promising to deliver the same over-the-top action and humor that made Duke Nukem a household name in the gaming world.

The return of Duke Nukem Forever to the Xbox 360 is a momentous occasion for fans of the series, who have been eagerly awaiting the release of the game since it was first announced.

As rumored, 2K Games is reviving Duke Nukem Forever, the first-person shooter that was canned when original developer 3D Realms shut down. Now, after years of speculation and anticipation, the game is finally making its way to the Xbox 360, promising to deliver the same raucous action and irreverent humor that fans have come to expect from the series.
