Serious Sam HD gets box art, we are inspired photo

Croteam has revealed some incredible box art for its upcoming PC and Xbox Live Arcade game, Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter. As you can see from the above header, it's truly inspirational stuff, the kind of thing that men shed tears over. Manly tears. Made of manwater.

Serious Sam is definitely a game I'm looking forward to. I've always had a soft spot for the series' totally shameless dedication to gratuitous violence and awful one-liners. Check out the full, Army of Darkness-esque artwork in our gallery full of new screens, and join me in getting pumped for Sam's glorious return.

I guess Serious Sam really is the new Duke Nukem.

They could call the next Serious Sam "Duke Nukem Forever" and I don't think many people would notice.

I keep seeing it as Sam holding a giant pencil with a metal tip on it than anything, and that kinda ruins the whole feeling for me. But his stature more than makes up for it, that's a heroic pose, gets me all pumped up and everything.

Server keeps eating the other images. I've tried to fix them, but no dice. Hopefully they'll be up soon.

Serious Sam really is nothing like Duke Nukem, except for the main character. That being said, I think I had WAY more fun playing Serious Sam coop than I ever did playing Duke3d.

I have fond memories of this, especially the sound of a horde of those suicide bombers running at me...

Will HD be co-op? Because if it is this could be a serious purchase option for me.
I wonder how it will fare using a controller though, you need some frantic mouse twitching to survive the original.

Considering how excellent Serious Sam and SE were, I have a good feeling about the remake. I basically already plan to week-one Get this game.

I tried Serious Sam 2 and was kinda Meh, mostly because my PC was like 'noooooooooooooo' to performance with the graphics looking decent.
