This is without a doubt my favourite first person shooter. It’s simple, no boring story, no annoying side characters, no silly restrictions like only two weapons at a time; it was an amazing fun game based on the fact you had many weapons and there were many, many enemies rushing you in large open areas. Most notably the screaming headless bombers, a terrifying sight to see rushing toward you over the dunes!

Maybe I’m behind the times but multiplayer doesn’t do it for me, levels like the last one on Serious Sam (before the last boss) where you’re basically in a long, large corridor where you can see a giant horde of enemies running towards you and you can’t go backwards… that’s fun!

(Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass is supposedly out this year, although we confess we’ve never seen it in person – GC)
