Spotify US premium service hands-on

Like The Beach Boys’ Smile and Duke Nukem Forever before it, the US version of Spotify has been elevated to a sort of mythological status by collective anticipation. Music nerds and tech geeks all over this fine nation of ours have waited with bated breath for the service to work out all of its licensing kinks and finally make its way to our shores. In an interview earlier this week , a Spotify higher-up promised us that the service will be pretty much the same as the one that Europe has already come to love — the question, then, is whether or not disappointment is inevitable after so much waiting

Duke Nukem Forever goes gold, will meet promised June deadline (really!)

Back in January, Gearbox Software released a Duke Nukem Forever trailer , and our inner 13 year-old — only a lascivious gleam in his father’s eye when the game was first announced! — thrilled to its potty humor, gratuitous violence, and mosaic-obscured lady parts. We were skeptical about the promised May release date, since DNF has long been gaming’s answer to Chinese Democracy , and sure enough that got bumped to June 10 (international) and 14 (North America)

Evidence of Duke Nukem Forever’s existence continues to mount with new trailer, release date

Gearbox Software promised last fall that they’d finally, really finish and release Duke Nukem Forever , and it’s starting to look like they’re actually going to come through. The studio has just released a full trailer for the game, and it’s announced something that many though they’d never see: a release date. Assuming nothing goes horribly awry in the next few months, you can expect the game to hit the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on May 3rd in North America, and May 6th worldwide
