14 years since the announced development, Duke Nukem Forever has topped the UK games sales charts. Originally planned to be released in the late 1990s, Duke Nukem Forever is the sequel to the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D.
The success of the latest release is somewhat further appealing as critics had expected it to flop. IGN scored Duke Nukem Forever at 5.5 out of 10, Joystiq 2 out of 5 stars and Eurogamer 3 out of 10. Most of the criticism is directed at the games clunky controls, shooting mechanics and overall aging design. With Eurogamer pointing out that "your time and money would be better spent reliving Duke Nukem's iconic past than bearing witness to this gruesomely mangled resurrection."

The surge in UK success, suggests that the long wait for another Duke Nukem installment have drawn the original fans back to the name over the content.

StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm Teaser Leaked
Posted 30 May, 2011
A short clip of the expected StarCraft 2 expansion "Heart of The Swarm" has been leaked on to YouTube. The 45 second teaser is the second time a StarCraft 2 video has made its way onto the web without Blizzard's knowledge or consent. The teaser is more cinematic than gameplay focused, but it will provide a big boost to the players of StarCraft 2, who have heard little from Blizzard in over a year.
The Heart of The Swarm expansion is to include more units and multiplayer changes, with the campaign focusing more on the Zerg encounters. StarCraft fans will also be pleased to see Kerrigan and Raynor feature in the leaked teaser, with Kerrigan expected to be a playable character before she turns into the queen.

With the release of major content from Blizzard, they ideally prefer to officially announce the next of their titles or expansions at Blizzcon. Though as of yet there is no official release date for the expansion, however the rumors going around is the end of 2011 or the start of 2012.
