PR Agency Threatens Reviewers

The public relations company in charge of promoting the latest installment in the controversial "Duke Nukem" franchise posted a tweet late Tuesday threatening to punish reviewers who have given the game a bad review.

The tweet was posted by The Redner Group — the company hired to promote "Duke Nukem Forever" — and read: "too many went too far with their reviews ... we r reviewing who gets games next time and who doesn't based on today's venom."

The Redner Group must have been planning to blacklist a whole heckuva lot of game reviewers because the Xbox 360 version of "Duke Nukem Forever" currently holds a score of 48 out of 100 from reviewers on Metacritic. The PS3 and PC versions earn a score of 56 and 57 respectively.

Jim Redner, founder of the Redner Group, sent an apology for the threatening tweet after pulling it from the company's Twitter account.

Honestly this isn't nearly as bad as some of these reviews are saying. Its not good, but I played the first couple hours of the campaign today and it was OK. Made me laugh a bit.

And now 2K has dropped them.

2K Games has since tweeted, and confirmed to various outlets, that it has indeed cut ties with the PR Agency it has used for years.

“2K Games does not endorse or condone the comments made by @TheRednerGroup and confirm they no longer represent our products,” reads the official Twitter feed for 2K. “We maintain a mutually respectful relationship with the press and will continue to do so.

“We don’t condone @TheRednerGroup’s actions at all.”

So can anyone confirm how bad the game is? Its seams that nobody likes it in any way shape or form.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

Game is crap, graphics aren't even up to par, but it's just downright boring. I tried using Fraps to create some videos and it just stops, then I tried another software xfire same crap....Nothing works...

It's been a long time since a FPS has made me woozy when playing, but I get migraines bad on this one. Controls are horrible with keyboard and mouse and controller. Two weapons and limited ammo. Come on!
