    Even better thanks to far cleverer puzzles. [Issue#194, p.102]
  2. "The Tomb of Sammun-Mak" is fun, funny and smart. The Devil's Playhouse continues to impress.
  3. The writing is as sharp as ever, but doesn't feel as fresh. [Aug 2010, p.96]

    Extreme classic run and gun fragging goodness! Experiencing high definition 16 player coop is a must. It's hard not to love Sam, especially when playing with others. Expand

    Terrible version of this game. Back a few years this game was the answer to the death of the Duke Nukem Franchise in a sense, while being a very different game. Now this version is horrible and will ruin whatever good memories you have from the original version. Expand
