There are two things I feel obligated to mention when discussing Serious Sam. First off, you know those idiotic skeleton things that click and clack when they run at Sam and are literally never not running at Sam unless they get caught on an object due to bad scripting? Most annoying enemy or most annoying enemy?
That brings me to my next point, which is that the kamikaze musclemen with bombs for heads are pretty damned annoying too, now that I think about it. Similar to the skeletons, they enjoy jogging at all times. The difference is that these guys yell at the top of their lungs, even when they are a mile away from being able to explode by Sam. I suppose it makes about as much sense as the rest of the game.
But to get slightly more on topic, there’s a new trailer for Serious Sam HD viewable after the break. Dare I say it, the remake is looking quite good. For those who disagree, I suggest you go take a good hard look at the original Serious Sam — it was kind of ugly for its time, and it hasn’t exactly aged well.
