Hey January, come say 'hello' to Serious Sam HD on XBLA photo

Following yesterday's news of Devolver Digital revamping Serious Sam: The Second Encounter for release sometime next year, we are now forced to drop down into the realm of sad news. As mentioned on the studio's Twitter, the Xbox LIVE Arcade version of Serious Sam HD has been pushed to January.

There's no telling for sure if this move was certification-related, or due to a scheduling conflict, but my guess is it's more than likely the former. A real shame, but I'm more than willing to be patient if the play experience will be better off for it.

Can you hear that? The Perfect Lifeform is laughing heavily at this grave misfortune.

Excellent and fun game, Jim's review was spot-on (for once :P ).

Sorry you consolers have to wait, but it's worth it I promise you.

Forgive me; how is going from "Early 2010" to "January" a delay?

@ everybodyruns

It's not... too bad this game was never scheduled for 2010 though, it was said to release in December on Xbox and was already released on PC.

You might be thinking of the sequel.

Of course by former I meant latter but maybe that's why I should never comment.

My memories of this game consist entirely of the strangely uniform and monotone screams emanating from the headless bomb dudes as they chase you around.

Becomes really interesting when there are around 50 of them all screaming at once.
