You know that game that was in production for 10 years only to be canned? Well turns out Gearbox Software (Borderlands) have taken over the reigns from 3D Realms and is finishing off Duke Nukem Forever.

As promised, here is your Dragon Age II trailer.

In other news, Mass Effect 2 is coming to PS3 early next year.
