There’s been an absolute dearth of classic retro games on Live Arcade recently, so imagine our joy when classic FPS Duke Nukem 3D appeared on the download service last night.

Although it’s not been given any sort of graphical update (although many would argue it’s not needed) it controls exceptionally well on the 360′s pad and has all the violence and risque humour intact. Shaking a fist-full of greenbacks at a stripper has lost none of its charm, while even the flushing of toilets brings back a wave of giddy nostalgia.

Some will no doubt be disappointed that this isn’t the superior Saturn port, but there’s no denying that Duke Nukem still remains a brilliant little blaster. Available for a paltry 800 points, this is a must have blaster and should tide us over until Duke Nukem Forever comes out.

Funny, brutal and still brilliant. God bless you Duke.
