??) Duke Nukem--A Decade in the Making
Just when everybody forgot the existence of Duke Nukem, 3D Realms announces that it signed Swedish firm Meqon to handle the physics engine for its vaporous sequel, Duke Nukem Forever. While 3D Realms has a reassuring "it's done when it's done" stance for the shooter, the numerous delays either signals a new Half-Life--or the new Daikatana.
 
That's a well-done list.

And I never heard about the Half-Life 2 Collector's Edition debacle. WTF!? People were really paying $80 and $90 for the game? I can get 7 games for that amount of money.
