    Go "Auuuurgggh!" Yourself 0

    I'm writing this review right now, ladies and gentlemen, out of panic. Y'see, Serious Sam 3: BFE has been out for a relative while now, and it is quite possibly the best first-person shooter of 2011. No, actually, strike that "quite possibly". It is the best FPS of the year. I know so. It's a fact. ...but, you see, despite having been released some time ago, and despite having a plethora of mostly positive reviews written about it, I'm utterly convinced that I'm the only sane person left on the ...

    An imbalanced but often fun time 0

    Serious Sam 3 is another entry in a series that is well known for sticking to the classic FPS shooter design established by titles like Doom and Quake of just you verses a never ending horde of enemies. It definitely holds up in this regard, and while the first few levels may have you thinking otherwise it isn’t long until the game begins throwing absurd amounts of things to kill and at times can get pretty overwhelming. By the final level you will find yourself running away and scrambling...

    Serious Action 0

    I'd be going in circles if I repeated here that I dislike FPSs. I simply dislike average FPSs, the ones that offer little other than the average warfare experience. The whole soldier set up, gas mask, gun in hand doing some government job or joining some random war. At first thought I wasn't cut ou for this kind of game, the whole premise of Serious Sam is exactly going back to the roots, which contrary to the first person genre itself is my thing.The idea of a simple game all about shooting pl...

    A Rocket to a Cyclops' Eye 0

    Serious Sam has generally been associated with three main concepts – large open areas, mass amounts of enemies, and running backwards while frantically shooting these enemies. Serious Sam 3 features these main concepts for a majority of the game but tries to combine them with shadows, flashlights, and smaller weapons. The result is an unbalanced but decent experience that sometimes feels like two different games.Killing Enemies with Rockets Never Gets OldSerious Sam 3 begins with the titular Sa...

    Serious Sam 3: PS3 is ok..... 0

    Serious Sam 3 BFE for the PS3 is merely ok. Overall its mostly the same experience as the PC/XBLA versions, however, as with many of the PC/360 ports of that generation, the PS3 falls short in the technical department.Released originally in late 2011, and ported to XBLA is 2012, Serious Sam 3 is a unapologetic throwback to the shooters of old (think original Doom than Modern Warfare).Like the previous entries in the series, levels are generally constructed as large open spaces set in a fictions ...

    Seriously Fun 0

    Serious Sam 3 BFE ups the visual quality of the classic shooting franchise, which has once again made its way to Xbox Live Arcade after releasing on PC last year. Now running on the Serious 3.5 engine, this game features improved animations and a visual style that makes the game more modern while retaining the classic shooting gameplay that the franchise is known for. The game on XBLA has also launched with the Jewel of the Nile DLC, which features three new campaigns, as well as competitive mul...
