Having
never played Serious Sam for PC, I personally can't tell you
how good it was. It was critically acclaimed (both the first
one and the sequel), so Xbox fans should celebrate that a port of
the original Serious Sam will be coming for their system this
November.

Serious Sam is about mobs of evil (and weird-looking) aliens
that are looking to destroy all life on earth. Only one man
can stop the aliens - no, not anyone in the Men in Black - I'm
talkin' 'bout Sam "Serious" Stone! So he must travel
back in time to ruin the aliens' plot to destroy the planet.
Not exactly Shakespeare, but this is for non-"serious"
gamers only!
As Serious Sam the player will have to go through 36 levels of
annihilating the vicious aliens. The aliens can attack from
land, water, and air. As you can tell from the screenshots the
graphics aren't very realistic, but they should add to the
non-seriousness the game will have to offer. There's also 150
(!!) types of aliens that you can destroy. Just look at the
screenshots and see how funny-looking and varied these aliens are.
It should be a lot of fun checking them all out (and subsequently
blowing their brains out). There's also 12 different types of
weapons to choose from, from a simple military knife to the XOP
Flamethrower. Images 11-22 below show off each type of weapon
available in the game.

Since a lot of Xbox gamers probably haven't played this game for the
PC, Serious Sam will offer a new experience to a wide new group of
gamers.
