I know Duke Nukem Forever is getting all the press these days, but there is still another Duke Nukem title coming out besides DNF.  Apogee Software just released a brand new trailer for Duke Nukem: Critical Mass, which will be coming out for the Nintendo DS on May 11th.

If you are hell bent on Collecting them All in Pokémon, you had better plan on getting Pokémon Black Version OR Pokémon White Version between the game's release (March 6th) and April 10th if you were hoping to grab the Victini Pokémon.  Nintendo has announced it will only be available to people who buy the game between those dates.  Here is the official announcement:

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are giving Pokémon^TM fans yet another reason to get revved up for the March 6 launch of the Pokémon Black Version and  Pokémon White Version video games for the  Nintendo DS^TM family of systems. Consumers who purchase either of the new games between launch and April 10 will be able to receive a special Liberty Pass via Nintendo^® Wi-Fi Connection (broadband Internet access required), which will enable them to catch the never-before-seen Mythical Pokémon Victini^TM.

Victini - the Victory Pokémon - is the first Pokémon that's Psychic- and Fire-type and cannot be obtained through normal game play. It is said that Victini creates an unlimited supply of energy, which it shares with others. This energy source may be the secret to how it brings about victories. Victini's unique and exclusive Victory Star ability not only increases its own accuracy in battle, but also boosts the accuracy of all a player's Pokémon in battle. Victini is a must-have in any Pokémon battle, and is especially useful in Triple Battles, which debut in Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version.

Pokémon Black Version and  Pokémon White Version include more than 150 never-before-seen Pokémon that players can catch, train and battle as they progress through the game. Both games are now available for pre-order from major retailers throughout the United States for a suggested retail price of $34.99 each. A deposit may be required for pre-orders. See individual retailers for details.
