Duke Nukem Forever

Played the first few levels last night on 360 and the load times/slow down honestly doesn't seem that bad. When it slows down it's literally for a second and the screen is so full of flashing lights you kind of don't care. The load times are awful, but everyone is so used to either split-second load times or data streaming off the disc that I feel like they get really angry and blow things out of proportion when a load takes 15-20 seconds. It's not like it loads every 5 minutes either.

The beginning sections are actually pretty neat. I don't know if it's just messing with stuff in the environment giving you actual in-game benefits, or just playing something as simple and hammy as Duke, but it felt really nice. The totally played out/out of date references actually make the game a lot funnier than if they were playing them for straight laughs.
