Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes
2000 video game

Gameplay
Similar to Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, Land of the Babes is a third-person shooter game with very similar graphics. All enemies are new, except the pigcops and necro which were only slightly changed (the pigcops having a strong build instead of obese and the necro being a lot smaller and only appear in underwater levels). This time Duke's Desert Eagle handgun is customized with gold, and weapons such as the combat shotgun, the mighty boot (which is to throw kicks) and the throwing knife can be used without having to find them, the knife can be thrown as many times as desired for its ammo is unlimited. Weapons from the previous games are used such as the freezer (slightly improved), flamethrower, RPG, pipe bombs, dynamite, Gatling gun (this time being laser Gatling) and energy weapon, plus new weapons like the sniper rifle, grenade launcher, shrinker and other alien like weapons. In plenty of levels the player must get through obstacles which consist in climbing, jumping, swimming, running and other athletic type of movements to get through. Of course just like the previous games most levels depend in finding objects to beat the level such as keys, explosives etc. The difficulty of the game is easier than the previous one, mostly because each time an enemy is killed, the player's ego increases, and there are other objects which also increase ego like the Duke Nukem action figure and Duke's bio which is portable and can be used at any moment to increase ego.
Plot
Duke is relaxing at a strip club when suddenly a portal opens and a woman appears to give Duke his (old) sunglasses, but pigcops follow her and kill her.
