Serious Sam HD: First Encounter

I bought it on the PC via Steam this past week and I have to admit that the game looks a lot better than the original. It's still fun'n'gun, but the 16 player coop is a nice touch!

Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter Announced

Croteam and Devolver Digital today announced that Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter will be unleashed in early 2010 for PC and home console. Following in the tradition of The First Encounter, the game will feature all the insane action of the original game but with visuals beautifully rendered to current standards.

Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter will also feature an all new Co-Op Tournament mode that will allow teams to compete with one another. And there's good reason for everyone to practice up. At the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, China – an event expected to draw more visitors than any world's fair before it – The Second Encounter will be a main attraction, allowing teams to compete for the Digital Youth Award, which promotes the values of creativity, culture, friendship, education and unity.

It's time for the WORLD to get Serious!

Proper Puzzle Quest Sequel Announced

While earlier this year Puzzle Quest: Galactrix was released, it wasn't a true sequel to Puzzle Quest and introduced entirely new characters, settings, and gameplay elements. Fans who prefer the fantasy setting of the original to the sci-fi of Galactrix will be happy to hear that D3Publisher just announced Puzzle Quest 2 for Xbox Live Arcade and the Nintendo DS. Players will again be matching gems, battling goblins, and equipping new weapons and spells.

Four classes will be available: the War Mage, the Inquisitor, the Barbarian, and the Assassin. Players will experience the story from different perspectives depending on which class they choose. The demon Gorgon will be playing the ultimate evil this time around.

D3 says there will be new real-time elements in Puzzle Quest 2, but it is unclear at this point exactly what that means. Try to make sense of this sentence from the press release: "With the entire Puzzle Quest world accessible on your fingertips in real-time action, players will be able to get a more streamlined experience for instant gratification."

Huh?

Puzzle Quest 2 is being developed by Infinite Interactive, the studio responsible for the first game, and should be ready in spring 2010.

Bayonetta is fun but I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I thought everyone was just exaggerating when they said it was crazy but that was completely true.

This needs to release already.
