Alright, to be honest I'm not sure whether this is legit or not but....

http://www.bbspot.com/News/2009/05/duke-nukem.html?from=rss

To me I'm pretty sure this is bullshit but it would be interesting to see if this was actually true.

Just to quote some of it:

"The proposed storyline for the crossover game has Gordon Freeman, desperate to escape life in a Combine-dominated world, falling into what seems to be a portal to Xen, but is in fact a portal to the devastated Los Angeles from the original Duke Nukem platform game. Gordon steps through just as Duke Nukem is about to step through from the other side. This incident, coupled with a freak power surge merges the bodies and minds of Gordon and Duke, creating a mostly-Duke hybrid being called Duke Freeman. During the rest of the game, Duke Freeman will battle monsters from the whole Duke Nukem series, from pig-cops, aliens and mutated humans all the way to Dr Proton himself."

Yeah, I'm sure this is fake. Feel free to speculate though.

Yes, it's definetly fake... but it would be sort of awesome, in an insane sort of way. On the other hand, listening to declamations like "I've got balls of steel" in a Valve game wouldn't be pleasant. And to imagine the development time for that... blergh.

A little late for April fools? Even if it should be true, I don't care much for the idea.

Haha an article from May 18, and yet the only site that has anything to say about it is...well what is it exactly? Find a semi reliable source and I may believe it to be an unlikely rumor.

Edit: Checked in on the site, and it's a humor site, and the only one that seems to not be in on the joke is the OP.

As much as it sounds "awesome"...
I just don't buy it. I simply don't.

Wish it was true...

In the "About" section, they basically say that they're a tech humor site. Look into things before you post.

Did you even read the article before you posted? A Half Life crossover with Duke Nukem? Seriously now.

While Valve buying Duke Nukem might turn out awesome, the scenario described in the article is too stupid to be true. But man. Imagine E3. Valve buys Duke Nukem.....................................

That link is about a year old. Pretty sure something would have happened by now.

Not that you actually need to see the date to realise it's fake.

It's already been said, but obvious fake is obvious.

The premise sounds lame, and the statement that the personalities would merge into "Gordon Nukem" is so cringe inducingly awful that my head explodes at the thought.

Hmmm, if they did, it'd take five times longer then Half Life 3.
