    always had great fun with the co-op mode of the 2 sam games. Can't wait to play this in co-op.

    First one is quite good but really needs to be played in co-op. 2nd one is a better single player game and even better in co-op. They are the closest to Doom 2 that any modern game has come (but still prefer Doom 2).

    <3 Serious Sam

    I really like the engine the game has. I mean it looks decent and can render hundreds of enemies while maintaining a decent fps. This new one should be good.

    Sam 1 & 2 were fantastic.... Like Retr0 said, closest thing to the Doom games, but with huge open areas. I still remember that point about halfway through the first game where you hear gallopping noises coming from around the corner ahead. You turn the corner to see HUNDREDS of Kleer Skeletons heading straight for you... Change of trousers, please.

    They can be picked up really cheap now too. Must see if I can dig them up - haven't played them for ages.
