Duke Nukem Confirmed as 360 Exclusive DLC Character for Mortal Kombat

The Xbox 360 will finally be getting an exclusive character to compensate for the PS3's Kratos. Duke Nukem will be available for download in Mortal Kombat beginning June 10th when Duke Nukem Forever sees its North American release. This ends months of speculation as to what type of exclusive content the Xbox 360 will get despite hints from developers at both Netherrealm and Epic that a character from Gears of War would do battle in Mortal Kombat.


One Duke fatality has already been unveiled where Duke performs his infamous decapitation followed by defecating down his fallen adversary's neck. From the tiny bit of gameplay footage shown so far, Duke Nukem will have the ability to set pipe bomb as traps and fire rockets across distances to fight enemies in addition to a super meter building taunt featuring several of the character's famous lines including the fan favorite, "I've got balls of steel."

Running With Scissors to Develop Game Based on A Serbian Film

The creators of the Postal series have already unveiled their next project, a game based on the controversial movie, A Serbian Film. Titled simply, A Serbian Game, the Arizona-based developer is creating a nightmarish title based on what many are calling the most disturbing film of all time. Projected for a summer 2012 release, A Serbian Game is meant to give players the ability to recreate the same type of graphic sexual violence seen in the film.

Claims Running With Scissors studio head Vince Desi, "I was really inspired by the cock through the eyeball scene and I want to make that into a gameplay element. You play as a Serbian gigolo who's fled to Greece looking for a better life but ends up being used as a serial killer forced to make snuff films by killing people with his dick."

The core gameplay involves using the protagonist's penis to not only rape characters but violate them by creating new holes in their bodies. If the player is discovered during a murder, he'll have to fight police off, often by impaling them through their torsos with the male genitalia. Also, limbs can be severed either by using the penis or multiple melee weapons. Severed limbs can then be used as blunt striking implements. Health is regained by raping corpses which will often need to be done in small increments during fights to keep the currently unnamed protagonist from dying.

This comes as no surprise given Running With Scissors reputation of developing deliberately offensive games. Still, it stretches the boundaries of good taste to make something like A Serbian Film interactive. More news and hopefully screenshots will be posted as soon as they become available.
