Serious Sam: The First Encounter

i cant play multiplayer because game spy got shut down. I also heard that steam version got a multiplayer update that fixes it. Why not the gog version?

You're Serious Sam. You have Serious Weapons. To do some Serious Damage. And kick some Serious Butt. There you have it - the whole story and point of the game. Seriously. Sure, it becomes repetitive. And sometimes annoying. And you'll hate Marsh Hoppers. And you'll wish it had a simple "melee hit" l4d-like button. And it will be less interesting to play the game alone or without a co-op infinite respawn. Maybe, maybe. Oh, and you may definitely think, that you'd better buy an HD version for slightly more. But HD version is: a) more hardware demanding b) more "brownish" and less colorful c) needs Steam which is as awesome as it is sometimes bad. Oh, and while *slightly* more expensive, it's still *more* expensive. So, the best choice in my opinion? Buy both versions -_-

I used to own this game before GOG ever came along, and it is hard to find any real fault with it. It's a genuine first person shooter, but with a sense of humor, you can't really take the game to seriously. The monsters are ridiculously over the top, and range from giant bulls to headless henchmen and scorpions with chain guns. But the game works on almost every level, and is great fun to play without being to difficult. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned gamer, you will find this game to be a worthwhile purchase.

if you love old school shooters like Doom & Duke Dukem 3D then Serious Sam is the game for you. no stealth missions, no securing documents, no defending somebody or something, just you vs a legion of monsters & aliens. Serous Sam reminds us that above all games should be fun.

I wasn't sure what to expect with Serious Sam since I haven't played a game in the series before. A friend recommended this to me and we played a little online together and I was hooked. Tons of action, great weapons, very little in the way of fluff. Absolutely LOVE this game. I've since grabbed some of the others. Thanks GOG!!
