Wise-cracking hyper-masculine tough guy Duke Nukem has picked up his trusty shotgun and fought his way back onto Apple's über-popular App Store.

Yes, side-scrolling shoot-'em-up Duke Nukem 2 is now available to download for your iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, your fifth-generation iPod touch, and any iPads you may have lying around.

As many of you will already know, this classic MS-DOS game takes place in 1998.

An evil race known as the Rigelatins has kidnapped Duke and plans to use his brain to plot an attack on earth. Playing as the chiselled action hero, you have to escape your captives and save your home planet from enslavement.
