Duke Nukem Forever picture released

Brown monsters feature.

3D Realms has offered a Christmas present to the dwindling number of cobweb-covered, long-bearded fans still sat waiting for Duke Nukem Forever: a picture.

You can grab the wallpaper from the 3D Realms site in a variety of big resolutions, or view it at the Duke Nukem gallery.

The picture shows six monsters bearing their teeth, having weapons instead of hands and being brown. We expect gameplay to involve shooting them in the face when the game is released for PC next century.
