Description
Sam is back in the all new Second Episode of his battles against the arch-enemy Mental. After finding the Sirian spacecraft in ancient Egypt, Sam 'Serious' Stone hijacked it and headed for Mental himself. But sadly, this was not meant to be, as Sam lost control of the alien craft and crash-landed in the South American mountains.

Now surrounded by an even stronger army of Mental's evil forces, Sam is forced to battle his way towards Mental's fortress and put a stop to his plans of world domination once and for all.
  • Bulldoze your way through hordes upon hordes of enemies
  • Addictive, fast-paced gameplay topped with cheesy, Duke Nukem-style one-liners
  • A diverse arsenal of weapons, from the common shotgun to the all-destroying Serious Bomb

Serious Sam is Serious Fun

Seriously, this game is one of the best games I've ever played! It's fast-paced, gory, violent, intense, and most importantly fun. Sam "Serious" Stone is a great protagonist. Similar to Duke Nukem but less vulgar but just as funny. Serious Sam has some of the most bizarre enemies too. The most iconic being the Beheaded Kamikazis. They are headless enemies that wield one explosive in each hand and scream the now iconic "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The game takes place in Ancient Egypt, but the levels don't get repetitive since they can take place in tombs, dunes, oasis, etc. it never feels too similar. The weapons are really fun to use (my favorite being the portable cannon ball launcher). Overall, this game is amazing, seriously.

The Second Coming

Serious Sam: the Second Encounter is exactly what you might expect from a good sequel: same game but bigger and better.
