We've got the usual lineup of iPhone games again this week, but there's certainly a notable amount of quality in this week's batch. Really. From the ninety-nine cent games to the formidable US$ 4.99 class, take your pick, with a price study from Pocket Gamer to boot. And if you've been waiting for sn0w updates, we've got 'em right here, so read on for the iPhone Weekend Warrior.

One Duke Nukem game that's NOT taking forever is the port of the 1996 PC game to the iPhone. Unlike its award-winning counterpart (for being vapoware), Duke Nukem Forever, Duke Nukem 3D is well on its way to the App Store. IGN got its hands on the first screenshot so let's have a look at it.

Duke Nukem Forever may have been banished to development hell, but the Duke's story isn't done. Aside from Apogee and Deep Silver's Duke Nukem Trilogy for the PSP and DS, Apogee says that 2K Games is also working on another Duke Nukem game.

QJ is NOT vaporware. Of course, I'm not talking about this site - the closest we get to vapor is when we're manning our shifts over at the smoking area. I'm talking about Q Entertainment's enigmatic Wii title of the same awesome name - QJ. After supposedly going MIA for nearly six months after the announcement, QJ the game is back with an update, letting us all know it won't go the way of Duke Nukem Forever.

3D Realms is now denying that they received an offer from Take-Two Interactive for the IP of Duke Nukem Forever. Rumors swirled last week that US$ 30 million was put on the table, but the devs are saying that these are all just that - rumors.

When contractual obligations are not carried out according to stipulations agreed to by both parties, you can expect an ugly lawsuit to come next. What more if the agreement is not carried out at all? 3D Realms is about to find out the answer to that scenario as Take-Two Interactive files suit against what's left of the developer company for failing to deliver Duke Nukem Forever, via its parent company, Apogee.

True enough, Apogee Software's Duke Nukem announcement did come along this week! And do we hear of anything about the status of Duke Nukem Forever? Why, of course not! And what's the big announcement? They're holding auditions for a live-action Duke Nukem model to strut around the country and market Duke's upcoming games!

...Oh, would you look at that?! Tumbleweed...

So 3D Realms has shut down, thus making everyone believe that Duke Nukem Forever's gone back to the hole it once crawled out from. But if Apogee Software COO Terry Nagy is to be taken for consideration, we may here some word about the official status of DNF next week. It's either that or we get hear about the handheld trilogy set to come out for the PSP and DS.

As if to show the Duke's fans what they've been missing out on for years, a video surfaces with gameplay footages from notorious vaporware Duke Nukem Forever. It's a bloody futuristic FPS, featuring the attitude and the nudity - all in Duke Nukem fashion. Check it out.

While checking the QJ.NET PSP Updates blog for this week's PSP Weekend Warrior something struck me as odd. I couldn't pinpoint it exactly at first but eventually it dawned on me: we didn't see any PSP2 rumors this week! Or any hardware-centric news for that matter. The games have picked up the slack, though, with a couple of new game confirmations and more good news for the retro-minded PSP owners out there. Read on for the rest of the PSP Weekend Warrior!
