"Serious Sam: The Next Encounter"

Ah a mindless shooter that looks more fun than a really fun game that jumps up and down screaming fun (similies slowly declining).

Anyway game looks a good laugh to me, has had some positive feedback in the recent Kerrang! and over at IGN. Claiming it to be a fun, mindless blaster... which is what I really fancy playing.

Anyway I've heard of 2 possible release dates... this friday or the friday after. If it is this Friday wahoo a good game soon, if it is next friday wahoo a good game when I can technically afford it.

So not too bothered, just it would help to know.

Cheers.

Dringo.

And Amazon say 16th.

I guess we'll wait and see.

According to GAME its released on the 23rd at £20

PLAY say the 16th at £33

SR seems to think the game doesn't exist

Gameplay say 23rd also at £18

Sounds brilliant. Once I finally get round to buying BG&E, I'll get this.

Impressively, the title actually features not only a four-player split-screen deathmatch mode on GameCube, but a full-blown two-player split-screen cooperative mode, too. The latter is well implemented and entertaining, though -- again -- mindless. The two-player dynamic merely means that two players slay enemies simultaneously; there are no puzzle challenges based around this addition.

Sounds like i'll be investing in this!

To be honest I had more fun on Serious Sam co-op than on Halo.

I was waiting for TS, but then SR don't have it in stock either! grrrrr I hope it's in stock by the end of the holidays, so I actually get to play it a bit.

Serious Sam on the PC was pretty fun, especially in co-op (two people on a keyboard - how did I even manage that?), so if I see it nice and cheap (£10) one day I'll get it but only if it has a co-op. Does it? If it does then I suggest you all buy a friend and play that.

I certainly wouldn't pay over £25 for it, but it should be good fun.

I won't get it though.

I still need TS. EVERY DAMN PLACE IN EXETER IS OUT OF STOCK!

So I was weak and got SP:PT, PGR2 on ze Xbox and SSX3 on Cube.

And I've played SSX3 more than the other two. So much better. I love SSX.

Harvest Moon is currently glued to my brother, so I can't actually play it. Ever.....

Strange, it's publisher TBA for Xbox and it's online on the PS2 version...

Might be taking a route similar to Die Hard: Vendetta then.

It's out for Ps2 and Gamecube and can be found at around £17.99 *cough* at gameplay *cough* of course buying from Special Reserve is the better option! It's release date i thought was this friday (16th) Hope that Helps!

Don't expect too much and you'll get alot back (if you know what i mean)...

Excellent.

Should be multiformat.
