How to play Duke Nukem Forever: Balls of Steel Edition on Mac
Game summary
The Balls of Steel Edition includes Collectible bust of the greatest alien ass-kicker of all-time, Numbered, limited-edition certificate of authenticity, Duke Nukem Forever postcard series, Duke Nukem Forever foldable paper craft, Duke Nukem Forever poker chips and more.
The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke’s life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend.
