If Duke Nukem Forever had come out years ago, I wouldn't have cared. But now that its on-again, off-again development may be finally switched to "on," I just gave myself a Duke-worthy flat top in anticipation.
News Blips:
It took Forever, but the new Duke Nukem may be re-revealed at PAX. Rumor has it that Gearbox Software -- responsible for last year's Borderlands -- has taken over the reigns for Duke Nukem Forever, and that the game will be unveiled during PAX in Seattle.

Resident Evil 6 may be closer than we think. Resident Evil 5 took a long time to make -- we waited four long years for it after Resident Evil 4. It looks like Resident Evil 6 may not take as long, as Capcom's Keiji Inafune recently said, "Given the great success which led to us Resident Evil 5, we want Resident Evil 6 to hit the market as soon as possible.

Super Mario All-Stars coming to the Wii...in Japan. The original Super Mario All-Stars for the Super Nintendo featured all of Mario's NES adventures with updated graphics. This new version for the Wii will reportedly come with a booklet detailing the series' history, plus a CD featuring music from the original Super Mario Bros. all the way up to Super Mario Galaxy 2. No word on a release outside of Japan. [Kotaku]
