Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project XBLA Announced!

"Duke Nukem is back! New York City is being overrun by a mutant menace and it's time to de-worm the Big Apple. This explosive 3D action game features Duke Nukem defending the city that never sleeps, and its babes, from the evil Mech Morphix across 24 levels from Chinatown to Space. A super-sized collection of weapons, enemies and bosses await. As Duke would say, "Babes, Bullets, Bombs. I love this job!"

Coming on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 to Xbox LIVE Arcade is the 3D Realms classic, "Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project".

The cost of the game will be 800 Microsoft Points (there will be a free demo available at that time, too). This is a single player blast fest that won a lot of fans when originally released some years ago for the PC. But this summer, you'll be able to play the game on the Xbox 360, where it's found a perfect home.
