New maps and modes are coming to Duke Nukem Forever in the Hail to the Icons Parody Pack! Arriving on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this Fall, the add-on packs four new multiplayer maps (each with a new weapon) and three new multiplayer modes, and will be FREE to all First Access Club members who registered their FAC membership before Duke Nukem Forever launched in their country (subject to availability).
The Parody Pack includes:
Three All-New Modes:- Freeze Tag provides some of the most fun team gameplay in Duke Nukem Forever. Players cooperate to freeze and shatter their opponents in succession for huge point streaks and combos. See who can hold on to the babe the longest in Hot Potato and play free-for-all Duke style in Hail to the King.
- Call of Duke - Duke engages in modern combat in a war-torn city. Foes don’t stand a chance against the Duke when he spams the map with the N00b T00b.
- Sandbox - Players take the role of mini-Duke in a giant sandbox with two bases at either end made out of children’s toys. This map features Sticky Bombs.
- Inferno - Time machine engage! Duke does combat in a hellish landscape of lava and teleporters. Who turned on the 16-bit graphics, and more importantly, where did this DFG come from?
- 2Forts1Bridge - Hats? Duke doesn’t need no stinking hats. Give him a minigun and he’ll beat off all comers.

SEGA Announces Aliens: Infestation for Nintendo DS – A Side-scrolling Action Adventure Set in the ALIENS Expanded Universe
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (July 20th, 2011) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced Aliens: Infestation™ for Nintendo DS™, bringing the action-packed experience of the popular ALIENS™ film series to Nintendo’s best-selling handheld console in September 2011. Players will be able to recruit and play as 19 different marines, each with their own unique dialogue, and explore iconic environments including the Sulaco, the Derelict ship, and LV-426. Aliens: Infestation is an action-heavy side-scrolling exploration game and will be part of the ALIENS expanded universe.

ABOVE: Gearbox's Randy Pitchford and 3D Realms' George Broussard with Sam Brockwell, the first person to buy Duke Nukem Forever in Plano, TX.
Coming to PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012, Furious 4 is a new branch for the Brothers in Arms brand and a new take on World War 2.
Here's what Gearbox President and CEO Randy Pitchford had to say when he announced the game during Ubisoft's E3 2011 press conference:
Gearbox Software's Brothers in Arms games have been about history - about sacrifice - about brotherhood. About fighting not merely for Duty and Honor but for the guy next to you behind the sand bags. Brothers in Arms games have been authentic recreations of World War II battles that put you in the boots of the 101st Airborne from the beachhead at Normandy to the front-lines of Nazi war machine. That’s what the Brothers in Arms franchise has been about since its debut: They were games we loved to make, and they are games we are eager to make again. But that is not what I'm here to talk to you about today. Our partners at Ubisoft challenged us to take a new approach to the WW2 shooter and we agreed to take up that challenge. This is an entirely new take on war games. This is a new take on World War 2. What I'm here to propose is a game about a very special squad who love being soldiers and are very, very good at their jobs. These soldiers live for the thrill of the fight and enjoy killing their enemies. These are soldiers whose favorite thing in the world is kicking Nazi ass. The story of this squad incredible and legendary - the stuff from which tall tales are born. Some of you will have the opportunity to see this squad and the game in action in the days to come at the Expo. But now, I would like all of you to meet the Furious 4.
Duke Nukem is back and ready to kick-ass and chew bubblegum! Come get some on June 10th (International) and June 14th (North America)!
