Oh.. My.. Freakin’.. God!! :-O 11 years after it was announced Duke Nukem Forever, the sequel to the mega hit “Duke Nukem 3D” has finally been released! After half a decade passed with the final, realistic release date of it nowhere in sight; I gave up on ever seeing a full version game available for sale at local computer and gaming stores.

Looking at the minimum PC system specifications, Duke Nukem Forever

doesn’t seem to need that tough of a system. That is when you compare it to the current 2011 PC game heavy hitters Crysis 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a game that will work on an old, slow PC, it still needs a decently powered computer to run. If you have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (“GMA”) graphics card, it is NOT compatible. That card is below the bare minimum requirements. If you have a new, Intel HD or any “integrated”/”on-board” graphics card there is a small chance it will run BUT you must have a fast “Core i” 3, 5 of 7 CPU powering your PC. And even then don’t get your hopes up.
