After a long period of silence regarding the shooter XCOM, 2K Games finally started throwing some crumbs our way. In other words, they've dispersed earlier reports that the game is in trouble and are, apparently, preparing to unveil an 'evolved' version of XCOM...

2K hasn't breathed a word regarding the status of its shooter set in the XCOM universe. The game seemed rather promising at one point. However, it's been some time without any info or media on the game, with the project suffering delays and with reports of the developers shifting to another genre...

Take-Two Interactive confirms that Borderlands 2, the RPG-flavored shooter, sold nearly six million copies. Back in October 2012 it was noted that the game shifted approximately five million and the publisher continues to see it as one of the most successful releases in 2K's history (thanks CVG)...

Take-Two revealed that they are creating a MMOG, utilizing the Civilization setting. With a working title Civilization Online, the game is meant to target Asian markets specifically and, according to the publisher, there's a crew of 100 people at XL Games (South Korea) devoted to the project...

Originally, 2K Games and Digital Extremes intended to launch the action adventure sequel this year in October. The Darkness II just got a new release date - February 7, 2012 in North America and February 10, 2012 worldwide.

Well, this is historical news, no matter what your opinion is of the game (if you've already purchased it, that is). Anyway, the unthinkable has happened and 2K Games and Gearbox Software announced that legendary Duke Nukem Forever has arrived and is now available in North America on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC...

So, then, Duke Nukem Forever, thoughts? Personally, I don't know what to think anymore. Clearly the project was given to someone who can actually bring a development cycle to a close (i.e. Gearbox). The guys at Gearbox are known to churn out pretty solid games, so I'm hoping that, despite my incredible skepticism, DNF makes it to stores and delivers a fun FPS experience (as it did in the past).

This is it. This is really, really and undeniably it. The proper release date... or is it? Well, as far as 2K Games and Gearbox are concerned, May 6, 2011 is now the official release date for Duke Nukem Forever. "When I said goodbye to 3D Realms and the original Duke Nukem 3D team in 1997 and soon after founded Gearbox Software...

Oh dear God! Just how in the hell am I supposed to feel about this? They officially announce the release of a game that was supposed to be released 12,000 centuries ago? Give us a launch trailer and just kick this thing out the door already. That's right, the forever-in-development-but-never-released shooter -- Duke Nukem Forever -- is finally going to see the light of day...
