SERIOUS SAM 3 BFE TUNNGLE SERIES

If you must fight this freak of nature – and you most certainly do – you'll need to do it with your bare hands. You look around, trying to figure out what the hell you're supposed to do now, when out of nowhere you're pounced upon and beaten to a bloody pulp. Moments later, said chopper takes a hit and Sam is bounced unceremoniously out the door, where he plunges onto the roof of a war-torn low-rise.

Lamenting his impending assignment – which, in typical series fashion involves viciously dispatching alien mutants in the Egyptian desert – Sam notes he should be 'doing blow off a stripper's ass right now.' So much for political correctness. In Serious Sam's introductory cutscene, aboard a chopper hovering over the upcoming battleground, we get a taste for the sensibilities of our anti-hero, 'Serious' Sam Stone. For many, that's just the way it should be. Save, die, load, repeat every few minutes.

Endless streams of brain-dead monsters sprinting straight at you like they're training for the Olympics. You see, the latest Serious Sam is built on precisely the same principles that were mercilessly drummed out of gaming land so many moons ago. Or had we? Judging by the anticipation and very early reaction a dozen years later to Serious Sam 3: BFE, an FPS throwback if there ever was one, maybe not. We'd clearly moved on to new and better things. Where was the originality? The realism? What about a shooter that taxed our brains as much as it taxed our trigger fingers? By the turn of the millennium, the truly wanton FPS was on its death bed and the rise of the thinking man's FPS was nigh. But too much of a good thing can sometimes wear people out, and eventually the criticisms began rolling in.
