very fun mindless action game.

like a much darker Serious Sam
PK and it's Xpak is MUCH "deeper" than the Serious Sam series . . . there are unlockable levels, alternate endings, the MOST crazy 'secret places' you can imagine and undocumented weapon's combos - did i mention great usage of the Havok 2 physics engine? . . . plus the best sky-boxes in any game to date

recommended.
[highly]
:thumbsup:

yeah, a little problem there. It took me a month to talk my mom into letting me get half-life 2, if it's "very mature", then I doubt I will be able to have it.

i'm glad i mentioned it then . . . it is set in a prison where you get to sneak up behind someone and break their neck . . . plus the game is liberally peppered with the F-word.

i'd highly recommend DE:IW and Thief DS if you haven't played them . . . they are from '03/'04 . . . FC is great gameplay and a crappy story but excellent outdoor gfx and good [if difficult to beat] enemy AI and no proper 'anytime save' . . . i liked it but not as well as HL2.

Serious Sam 2 is out next month [FEAR too; or is it this month?]


Thanks, I'll look into it. FEAR sounds like a good game, as long as it's not rated M for anything more than intense violence and blood, gore maybe. Language, suggestive themes, alcohol, drugs and such is where my mom draws the line.

and of course you can turn off gore in the menu . . . ;)

:D

anyway - definitely - D/L the FEAR demo . . . it will help you decide. ;)

. . . the 1st 2 Serious Sams were really fun . . . more like pure shooters where 'reflex' is king . . . you can d/l the old demos to see if you like their style.
