In just a few hours, this review has already received more hits than my latest one. YOWZA! And well deserved, too! Great review, Suskie!

But then we see naked women, covered in slime, pinned to the walls and hanging from the ceilings, moaning as they’re being raped and impregnated by the aliens. They sob realistically – it is, in fact, the only convincing sample of voice work in the entire game.

You don't want to see video of it, Zipp. It plays out exactly as the review describes.

Man, only an epically bad game could make tentacle sex boring.

I am not entertained, amused or captivated by tentacle sex in any context.

I guess it's a good thing then that Duke Nukem Forever doesn't have any.

To be fair, Zig, Duke Nukem makes numerous comments about tentacles throughout the proceedings.

I threw the phrase "tentacle rape" in there because that's the impression I walked away with. The level's depiction of it skirts around the details (and wisely so, as otherwise it would have risked falling into AO territory), and I said "tentacle" because, given that the game's alien biology is slimy and slithery and rife with tentacles anyway, that's how I pictured it happening without wanting to devote the level of thought and analysis to the subject that I'm about to give it. It's certainly no more baseless than the claim that the Holsom twins admit to having consensual sex with the aliens. I've just gone back and watched the video, and here's their entire conversation:

Shouting "you've been aborted" after punching an alien hatchling out of the air is pretty awesome. The other line, yeah, not so much.
