Serious Sam

 When aliens ruled by the evil Mental attack Earth, it is up to Sam "Serious" Stone, one of the toughest guys on Earth, to time-travel back to Ancient Egypt in order to change history by defeating Mental back in the ancient times. The First Encounter tells about the first part of Sam's voyage through Egypt.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter is a high-adrenaline first-person shooter heavily focused on frantic arcade-style single player action. The game goes "back to roots" of the first-person shooter genre; it does not feature intricate story, character interaction or the need for careful tactics which were becoming common in the FPS's of its time, instead concentrating on epic battles where the player, armed with powerful weaponry, takes on tens or even hundreds of enemies at once.

Sam travels through deserts, Egyptian temples, palaces and cities, killing countless enemies and occasionally stopping to solve a more or less easy puzzle. There are many weapons to be found; they are all classic FPP armaments - shotguns, chainguns, rocket launchers etc., up to the most powerful weapon: a cannon which shoots devastating cannonballs. There are also many pick-ups, of course, containing ammo, health and armor.

The enemies come in many varieties - headless suicide bombers, giant bio-mechanical creatures that shoot missiles, scorpions with chainguns, bulls that charge at Sam, etc. There are also a couple of powerful bosses.

Sam has a mini-computer which contains basic info about the levels he's travelling through, weapons he collects and enemies he kills.

 Serious Sam II is the sequel to Serious Sam is an equally un-serious first-person shooter with everything blown out of proportion. It offers huge levels with hundreds of opponents, funny worlds with various themes, a vivid colour palette, lots of big guns and some of the largest bosses around (including a giant gorilla, bee, skeleton, dragon and robot). Sam "Serious" Stone must fight through the minions of evil mastermind Mental to collect the five pieces of a medallion which will allow him to harm Mental himself.

The game is based around DOOM's more simple approach to gameplay with a dose of old school game design featuring score, a life-count and extra lives. The outrageous enemies come in waves, dozens at a time, ammo for the basic weapons is plentiful and action almost never ceases. Sometimes a dinosaur, various vehicles (including a flying saucer) and static guns can be mounted to lay waste to Mentals hordes. Weapons include a revolver, shotgun, circular saw, plasma gun, sniper rifle, Uzi, rocket launcher grenade launcher, mini gun, canon and a serious bomb. The game's engine combines support for a high model count on screen at any given time with a long draw distance.
 
Serious Sam 3

 The Serious Sam series is back for its third main (though sixth overall) outing. Running on the new Serious Engine 3.5, Serious Sam 3: BFE serves as a prequel to the original First Encounter; a fact referenced in the games title, BFE standing for Before First Encounter. Set in the 22nd century, the plot revolves around a device known as the "Time-Lock;" a discovery made beneath the ruins of ancient Egypt, found to belong to an even older yet technologically advanced civilization known as the Sirians. However this discovery catches the attention of a dangerous cosmic entity known as Notorious Mental, who assaults Egypt and seizes the Time-Lock as his own, abusing its powers to create a horde of cloned beasts borrowed from various points and places in the universes history to unleash upon the Earth. Various attempts to retake Egypt and reach the Time-Lock have failed, until a new task force is sent in with "Serious" Sam Stone on board, and despite being separated from his team - Sam plows forward with all the weaponry he can find.

Like the previous entries in the series, the game is a simple, arcade-style shooter that throws back many elements to the early days of the genre with games such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. When the player chooses a difficulty, the game applies a score modifier based on difficulty and also applies score variables on time, saves made, and enemy kills - tallied at the end of each level. SS3 also continues the trend of having the player fight large amounts of enemies with any weapon at their disposal. The weapons themselves range from conventional tools such as a pistol, shotgun, and assault rifle while also giving players some less conventional weapons such as a portable cannon, laser-rifle and a new entry to the series - the mutilator.

Outside of the single player mode, there are various multiplayer options that can be played online with up to 16 players and split-screen with up to 4 players. These modes include cooperative campaigns, survival missions, and a "beast hunt" mode as well as traditional deathmatch and team deathmatch options and a new "my burden" mode.

 A tennis game where camera is always static, which means whether you're on one side of the net or the other, the camera will always show both players from the same angle, which seems like a platform game. You can play a single match or full tournament, as well as resume if you achieved some points while playing before. You can play against computer AI or another player on the same computer, or you can select DEMO for computer(s) to demonstrate you the game.
