    Anyone know anything? Good? Bad? Stand alone or add on?

    The demo is out on Steam... played for a bit but can't say I'm that impressed. Perhaps I am spoilt by the fabulous HL2 EP2 though

    TBH i never really 'get' the serious-sam style gameplay on these types of shooters. Or perhaps i'm just too old and wrinkly to appreciate it. Bugger.

    Have to admit tho playing Serious-Sam on a lan round my friends house with 6 of us all blasting incoming screaming hordes of badguys was so funny we were pretty much falling off our chairs screaming with laughter for about 6 hours.
    Hell and Fire was spawned to be released.

    Re: Painkiller: Overdose

    Co-op play, especially with friendly fire turned on was Serious Sam's only strong point (imo). However where Painkiller falls down is that it doesn't have Sam's grin factor.
    So ultimately it's just a boring & repetetive no *edit(b)rainer.

    That's a very dry opinion...

    yeah i would say the only thing about this game that might be really worth while playing, probably is the online feature with your friends.
