Duke Nukem Forever Soundboard: Free for iOS

While you're waiting for the actual game to come out, get your Duke on with this free batch of sound clips. It's delightfully juvenile, yet tasteless!

I can't remember the last time I looked forward to a game as much as I'm looking forward to Duke Nukem Forever. I've always loved first-person shooters, but they're all so dark and serious these days. I'm ready for some old-school fun; to kick some ass and chew some gum--and I'm all outta gum.

For whatever reason, that infamous Duke quip doesn't appear in the new Duke Nukem Forever Soundboard app for iOS. Fortunately, the app delivers more than two dozen other hilariously juvenile Duke-isms, including "Tonight you dine in hell" and "Hail to the king, baby."

Many of the others aren't suitable for reprint in a family blog, and indeed the app is rated 12+ for its mild profanity and crude humor.

Ultimately, the app is little more than a scrolling list of sound clips. But it's a fun little teaser to whet your appetite for the game, which ships in about two weeks. And it's free.

Alas, no word yet on whether we'll ever see a proper Duke Nukem Forever game for iOS. For now, you'll have to settle for Duke Nukem 3D, a port of the original PC classic.
