Just wondering, based on the XBox version, do you think Serious Sam is worth a purchase over R-Type: Final and Pool Paradise?

All three look pretty good (not killer titles, but good fun anyway), but I'm really sure if Serious Sam is worth it, as I haven't really heard much about to be honest, other than it's a Doom-type FPS.

Any advice?

EDIT: That is of course if I miss out on Knights of the Old Republic tomorrow...

I rate KOTOR as better than Skies. And Grandia 2. In fact, KOTOR is one of the best RPGs in years. In fact, it would be almost as good as that, even if you couldn't make your own lightsabre. But you can, so it is that good.

KOTR is sublime.

Well it doesn't matter now anyway, I've just ordered Knights of the Old Republic for £20 on DotD. Hopefully it's as good as people say, even if it isn't I can probably sell it for around £30 and get Serious Sam anyway.

Looks like SS will have to wait another couple of weeks.

Serious Sam plays like an amateur porn site.

Just dull play which causes very little excitement.

I have more fun opening the ring pulls on tins of tuna.

Serious Sam smells like a rotten, 20 year old willy that's been left out in the sun.

IMO etc...

Ah, that's what I was hoping for. Brilliant.

Think I'll maybe leave it until GAME's Deal of the Day has passed first though, seeing as I could be getting Knights for under £20.

Hell yeah!

If you're looking for a no holds barred shootfest then you can't go wrong with Sam. Just don't expect anything particuarly clever or mind bending.

Oh and the co-op is excellent. The frantic nature of the game play really works well with co-op, maybe even more so than Halo.
