As you’re sure to know Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for, well, ever. Luckily, the game was recently picked up by Gearbox Software who will finally be finishing the game and getting it onto the market come May 3rd for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. While we know a lot about the game there is still much to be known including details regarding its multiplayer portion.

Luckily news has just hit the scene by way of Official Xbox Magazine scans that let us know about the different game modes that will be making their way into Duke Nuke Forever. Included here are Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Capture the Babe and Hail to the King. If you couldn’t tell by their names, Dukematch will be your traditional free for all deathmatch/slayer type game mode while Team Dukematch will be the same thing, but quite obviously on teams. Capture the Babe will be Duke Nukem Forever’s take on Capture the Flag while Hail to the King will be the game’s take on king of the hill.

Pretty comical names that the developers have come up with here which seems like a breath of fresh air in this highly serious market dominated by titles like Call of Duty.

Again, Duke Nukem Forever will be out for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on May 3rd.

Capcom is including a very unique feature with their latest title, Super Street Fighter IV. That feature is the Tournament Mode DLC pack which will be made available free of charge on May 15th.

Now, the game is set to drop for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on April 27th but when the Tournament Mode DLC pack is made available, you will be able to host a tournament with up to 8 players through Xbox Live or the Playstation Network.

This should definitely be good for the game considering video game leagues like Major League Gaming went the Tekken route instead of Street Fighter. Perhaps this will change their mind.

While the first Dead Rising was fun, killing zombies over, and over, and over got a bit repetiative. Well, Capcom is looking to change that with Dead Rising 2 adding a whole slew of new features that are sure to have you coming back for more. The most prominent of said features in co-op which Capcom has confirmed.

This means that you will be able to team up with a buddy and slay zombies. What better way to bond than a harmless zombie slaying?

News regarding Left 4 Dead 2 has been circulating for some time now and still new details are emerging. The latest set of details lets us know of a previously unannounced game mode enittled ‘Realism’ mode.

1Up asked marketing VP over at Valve, Doug Lombardi, about the peculiar mode who said ‘Realism’ mode is for players who can play the game better than the testers can.

What exactly does this mean? Well, Kotaku hypothesizes that perhaps it is a kind of head shot only mode where you can only kill the zombies with a shot to the head. You know, like in the movies.

One of the most well known and loved game modes, Capture the Flag, was absent from Call of Duty 4 which led gamers to believe that Modern Warfare 2 would also abandon the mode.

Luckily, Infinity Ward has recently released the above trailer showcasing the new game mode and boy does it look like fun. Of course, this gives us another opportunity to drool over the beautiful visuals and every other amazing aspect featured in this highly anticipated title.

If you already find it hard to wait until Modern Warfare 2‘s November 10th release date I suggest you don’t watch the above video as it will make the wait even harder. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
