I’m throwing this up here because the game uses my name and because I used to actually play this back then on the PC with some of my previous co-workers. Serious Sam is probably one of the more humorous first person shooters and is a nice retro throwback for anyone who wants to play something a bit different from today’s more realistic shooters. You can grab is now on XBLA for a mere 400MS Points per game which is a huge discount over the regular 1200MS Points per game.

Press Release

Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter will both be included in Microsoft’s retro-shooter promotion starting today, running February 7 – 13.  Now, fans can experience both over-the-top action games for only 400 points or $5 each!  That’s more than a 30% discount worth $10 in savings on each game!  (Both games regularly offered for 1200 points or $15.)

Developed by Croteam and powered by the Serious Engine 3, both titles are reminiscent of the golden age of first person shooters and feature intense frantic gameplay with non-stop action, reminding players why they got into gaming in the first place, to blow stuff up!
