I'm just surprised that it's not quite as inflammatory as Dante's Inferno or Plastic Beach. Rather than calling out specific people you are instead working against a general consensus and supporting your ideas and opinions to make a truly engaging argument. And quite a long argument at that.
But I enjoyed it, but most specifically the more thought provoking segments such as the alien impregnation scenes, and while you quoted Cinemax and LM I felt as though you followed through with LM's idea rather than quoting yourself from the forum topic and holding ground on your own opinions. Other controversies such as the humor, the game mechanics and the driving levels are hot topics with critics and some additional commentary expressing a little more insight could prove useful.
Honestly, as much as people are fans of the Dante's Inferno and Plastic Beach reviews, I want to veer away from the pissy reviewer cliche and go into speaking strictly from my point of view. While cursing like a sailor was a funny thing, it may give people the wrong impression that I'm like that all the time. True, the fanboy bashing in both Dante and PB are what I truly think, but I can't be like that every time I open my mouth because then I'd come off as a dickhead .
As for your other comments, I would like to do a once-over on the controversy section and check to see if I give a thorough commentary on that because the general comment in reviews that involve both thoughts from LM and myself is that I piggyback LM, so I want to try and break free from that, you know what I mean? I'll also look into adding some additional commentary, CineMax's comments on speaking too kindly to the graphics and making excuses were absolutely right, so I want to also be more insightful and thus make this a fuller review . Thanks, dude!

Am I too late for this party? Poo.
Duke Nukem is an egotistical misogynist sod and after I played the demo on my brothers system I had more than enough. The moment when I quit the demo was after I defeated the large enemy and the camera panned out. Duke Nukem was groaning from an orgasm after playing his own game and two bimbo school girls perked their heads from his lap like two content groundhogs and wiped their mouths. If this is the chauvinist mindset of the entire game then I'm glad that critics gave it a well deserved thrashing.

I WONDER WHAT A FEMNAZI SPOOF OF THIS GAME WOULD BE LIKE. DUTCHESS NEUTEREM MOWING DOWN GIANT MUSHROOMS WITH CASTRATION SCISSORS. WELL NOT RUNNING, MORE LIKE PANTING AND WHEEZING LIKE A 400 POUND WALRUS. 20 POUNDS OF IT IS MUSTACHE HAIR AND A STRAP ON.

Shit right when the these discussions were making sense and making us look like this is a respectable place to talk nerd that bastard comes back. If we just ignore fuckhead fishboy maybe he will go away for another month or longer if we're lucky.
But we finally got a new review and that's awesome. I was going to say that my whining worked and got this site out of its rut but that is way too much writing to have been done in something like four days. How long did it take you to write this beast?
So I get the gist of the review and I like what you're saying about enjoying a game that tries to shake things up from all of the military shooters that are released every year. Battlefield, MW, COD, and they all look and play the same so when a kill everything kind of game comes out all of the big time reviewers who are paid off by the military shooter devs get all pissy that the game is just simple stupid fun and not another clone of their favorite games. If I had to sit through Black Hawk Down three times in a row, Sylvester Stallone's Cobra would be looking damn nice.
This review did what I expect a good review to do. It explained the good and the bad equally and gave the game the benefit of the doubt on some of the stupid little things that critics use as more ammo to hate on a game that they already hate and they want you to hate.
So I got the game demo and I had fun in the stadium stage shooting the boss but the whole canyon stage bored the piss out of me, and I didn't like the barrel moving and the driving so should I still at least rent the game because I think that the humor that Blades thinks is so offensive is the only thing that's keeping me from shrugging it off.

About a week, honestly . It was mainly about powering through it and not giving a shit about the time!
But thanks for giving me a read, and giving the game a try! I can only hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Guess what.
Duke Nukem Forever has a story add-on as DLC: The Doctor Who Cloned Me.
It basically takes place right after the main campaign, and the antagonist is the villain from the very first Duke Nukem game, Dr. Proton... Guess what I'm going to possibly review.
