For those of you who appreciate a little T&A with your H&K, word has leaked out that Take-Two Interactive seems to be pressing for a 2006 release of the long-awaited Duke Nukem Forever. From a filing placed with the Securities and Echange Commission last week, the astute reader will note:

In March 2005, the Company renegotiated a $6,000 contingent obligation due upon delivery of the final PC version of Duke Nukem Forever through the payment of $4,250 and issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $500. The payment of the promissory note is contingent upon the commercial release of such product prior to December 31, 2006.

It's anyone's guess as to whether this kind of incentive will succeed in finally pushing this near-vaporware title out in 2006; how encouraged will 3D Realms really be about a 'bonus' after losing thirty percent of the original contract value? Numbers on a securities filing usually don't lie, though; Duke fans can take heart in knowing that the latest (and possibly last) offering may finally be on the radar.
