I used to play Serious Sam alot when I was a little kid and design maps for it. A few days ago I found out that they released an HD version of the the first encounter (part 1/2). I never really liked the first encounter, I enjoyed the second encounter more because of the bigger arsenal, more enemy types and kewler maps.

Anyways, I got the game today and it's exactly the same (in terms of gameplay). The graphics look really good and the gore is great. Some textures on bigger brushes aren't that smooth and look the same as the non-HD version. The original Serious Sam is from 2001. It was the first game that could handle thousands of enemies and animations at once without lagging.

I hope the second encounter HD comes out soon! I really recommend playing this game. Fun, fast paced, gore, hardcore weapons, crazy enemies, the protagonist reminds me of Duke Nukem too.



The screenshot above is the HD version (2009).



This screenshot is from the original version (2001). The game is pretty damn impressive for its time. Most underrated game ever in my opinion. Not to mention you have multiplayer where you can coop with 16 players and deathmatch is awesome.

Yes, people still play it, at least, the second encounter. For the HD version you need steam to play multiplayer.

Meh, it's a total Duke Nukem rip-off IMO...

Err, not as such, since Duke had levels that had a lot of explory bits, and the fights were never arena-based, but rather more corridor and room based. Duke also had a lot of environment interaction and switch puzzles. SS is more of "arena+loads of monsters+guns", which is great, but it's not fair to Duke to draw too much between them. :)

Maybe, possibly more similar to Shadow Warrior or Blood but not really. Serious Sam was a completely different type of fps. At that time there were WORLDS of difference between FPS because everyone had new ideas. Today they are all cookie cutters with 1 new idea plastered on top of a preset formula.

I meant Serious Sam as a character, not by gameplay... I don't know, the whole "arena-based" levels never really appealed to me. I like more maze-like levels where you don't just mindlessly shoot everything in site. And peewee, you're absolutely right about the rip-offs nowadays. But then again, taking familiar themes from older FPS games allows players to be more accustomed to those games, and helps attract a larger audience. It's really just another case of popularity vs. originality.

Sims 3

It's likely just because the gameplay and the ideas are just getting stale, but it's just not as cool as the others. And as far as entries in the series, it's just an unnecessary grab for more money from fans. It's sims 2 with a little more content and less fun gameplay. Basically you can run out of money really easy. They tried to make some aspects of the finances more realistic... hence not fun and a complete chore.

If Sims 3 were the first of it's kind, then the novelty of it would probably still be fun, but as for being a sequel it's just not there. I'm just bored with it. Yes I spent a few hours doing Char Cust and house building with my wife, but once actual gameplay started I lost all interest in 15 minutes. Sims 1 had faux RPG elements that made it fun to play. Sims 3 is just flat. It's probably going to be beaten by Farmville.. and that is just a sad comparison.

I was surprised how quickly Oblivion completely replaced morrowind. I played morrowind inside and out and had an absolute blast doing so. I've not had the chance to dive into it, but I'm not in a hurry to sink all of my time into Oblivion.

games of late:

Dragon Age : finished once with a dwarf commoner,got distracted halfway with a mage....lots of fun although they have questionable business practices...



Just finished a runthrough of American McGee's Alice. It makes you scream for Real weapons,and the jumping puzzles will make you scream as well,but I look foward to the new one that's being worked on. I will always wonder what home made level packs made with these assets would have looked like. There was once a levelpack for FaKK2 but that lost steam years ago. I may dig that one out too. Awaiting Gothic 3 and that should amuse for a time...

Morrowind was fun, I got pretty good at the terrain and structure editing.

Had a sweet ass hideout to store everything in.   Havn't gotten into that for Oblivion yet,  but I will :)
