Steam weekend deal: Serious Sam HD for under $7
20
If unrelenting onslaughts of bad guys who want bad things to happen to you sounds like a good time, then you may be interested in Steam's weekend deal: Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter. The classic shoot-everything-in-sight-'em-up with retooled graphics has been discounted to a very manageable $6.79 from now until Monday on Steam, which comes out to about 817 kills for each copperhead spent. It's a pretty good deal, but be warned: You very well may look to kill anybody wearing a green or blue shirt for the rest of your life.

...or red shirt... or purple shirt.... or a shirtless guy with no head and two bombs in his hand screaming (somehow) while running at you possibly in a mall or ancient temple.

I would probably shoot at the last one anyway, if I had a gun that is.
OH GOD! the game is getting to me already.

I'm waiting for this on XBLA. I don't care if it costs more. I like sitting on my couch.

Same here, though this deal came sooo close to pulling me in. I believe it's coming out next week, on Wednesday?

It's pretty much the same with Steam. Your Steam name is used for your username. Basically, you start the game, quick match, and you're in a game.

Didn't know that. I only play RTS on my PC. I have a great rig too, Quad Core, 8GB of ram, 1GB Nvidia card. I really use it for everyday tasks and some video editing.

Tempting, but my backlog is already too long and my wallet too thin.

It's certainly a good little arena shooter for 7 bucks but my WORD is it brutal! I honestly think I had an adrenaline rush going on when I was playing this game.

Does it still have the coop mode, would be fun on XBLA.

"Based on the original indie arcade shooter sensation Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Serious Sam HD features stunningly redesigned visuals, over the top action and intense online co-op for up to four players."
Got that from the Xbox Marketplace description.
