E308 - Duke Time Travels, Has Amazing Trailer

[CSN NewsBot]

There are new details emerging for the just announced Duke Nukem Trilogy. Shacknews has the full scoop.

While the Trilogy ends with World War II, the first entry, Critical Mass, begins with Duke in the future. The second title, Chain Reaction, puts Sir Nukem in the present day. It's not until the last game, Proving Grounds, that the action hero proves his worth in the Second Great War.

Apogee also "didn't rule out" the possibility that a PC version of the trilogy would come later, but nothing has been confirmed. There are some notable difference between the PSP and DS versions of the title that needs to be mentioned. You'll find those differences listed after the break. For now, sit back and enjoy the best four minutes of your life.
