Shacknews Views Duke Nukem Forever… Apparently.

Duke Nukem Forever, the game, actually exists.

I have seen it. Maarten has seen it. We watched actual interactive gameplay being interacted with.

Of course, we are far from the first to make such a claim. During 3D Realms’ lengthy development cycle of Duke Nukem Forever here in the Dallas area, I have run in to my fair share of publishers and developers who boast they have gotten a glimpse of the game.

I spent a little bit of time playing the demo for Arkaian Warriors on Xbox Live last night, and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a fun little Diablo clone, and while the graphics are very ‘last gen’ one must remember that you are getting a full game for a mare $13.20.
It is a really good example of the kind of games you can find on the Xbox Live Arcade. Now although people know about the ports, like Worms, Doom and Bomberman, a lot of good original content is going unnoticed. These games are between $6 and $13, and all offer surprising value (and remember, all arcade games have a demo which you can try for free). So read on, dear friends, to discover the top ten original Xbox Live Arcade Titles.
