2002 called, wants its game back.

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is definitely heading to Xbox Live Arcade.

An Xbox.com page confirms this, although there's little extra detail on offer.

The ESRB suggested earlier this month that an adaptation of the eight-year-old game was on the way.

Unfortunately, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project was a bit rubbish. Eurogamer's review from 2002 explains why. Here's hoping time's been kind to it.

Somewhat enjoyed it on the PC back then but mostly because it's hard to get your hands on 2D games on the PC. Should be fine considering the lower price point.

400 points or GTFO!

Edit: To people voting me down, I'm not literally threatening you for MS points. I'm saying the game should be 400 points (at least) or they shouldn't bother with this.

6 = a bit rubbish?

Did Eurogamer not use the full scale in 2002?

This was my favourite Duke Nukem game ever, and i've played all of them since the 16 colour/80286 days.

I think calling it "a bit rubbish" based off a single reviewers' opinion, is a little unfair. Generally it was pretty well received (it has a Metacritic score of 78), and I remember having a lot of fun with it. It's wasn't the most original title, but the mechanics were very solid, and it had a lot of charm.

I always think that the number of comments on a thread is indicative of the interest in the game. So this would be meh then.

It was a fun game, worth a bash at 400 points. Just don't expect anything memorable.
