Segments

Episode 141 of the Destructoid Show:

Duke Nukem Forever getting demo so you can test out mediocrity for yourself.

http://www.destructoid.com/sega-pass-website-hacked-1-290-755-customers-risked-204122.phtml Most critics agree: Duke Nukem Forever sucks. After more than 10 years of waiting, it ain't all that. Jim Sterling reviewed it for Destructoid and called it a "miserable, lifeless, grotesque little game." But who listens to critics? They obviously don't know what they're talking about. I mean, they only play and see hundreds of videogames a year, so what do they know? Also, they're all biased and some are even fat.

http://www.destructoid.com/black-ops-limited-edition-landing-with-first-strike-dlc-204309.phtml Earlier today, Destructoid user mrandydixon let us know that GameStop was listing a mysterious Call of Duty: Black Ops Limited Edition with DLC. We later noticed the game being listed on Best Buy, including the box art shown in the image above. Now Activision has confirmed with us that it's real, and that it's hitting North American retailers on June 28. The $59.99 game will include a redemption code for Black Ops' first downloadable content, "First Strike," which normally would cost gamers $15. It will be available for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. (Nick Chester)
