Reviews

Duke Nukem Forever has been the recipient of the Wired News Vaporware Awards several times since it first made the list, placing second in June of 2000. It topped the list in 2001 and 2002, receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, presumably so it would no longer need to be listed. However, due to reader demand, it again won first place in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
