Poll: Deciding between 3 very different games

[ReservoirAngel]

I'd get Serious Sam, I have the original and it's great fun. USE THE KNIFE.

Yeah I've played the demo for the HD 360 remakes off XBL and had a blast, I'm just worried about the length of gameplay time I'll get out of them. I have no idea how long, combined, the 1st and 2nd encounters run for.

Mortal Kombat I'd say. Crysis 2 is waaaay shorter and less fun.
But I've never played SS, and Yahtzee seems convinced they're good...

Ive only played Crysis on this list and it was a fun competent shoter, but, thats about it. Its not exactly innovative or very different from any other shooter so id be tempted to go for serious sam

 

[striderkiwi]

haven't played either serious sam or mortal kombat although i've heard great things about both. Crysis 2 was fun, the story was long (the actual plot is kinda meh though) and the suit mechanics are fun to mess with. The online was also fun especially the level where you're fighting ontop of buildings in the sky. Oh and the graphics are some of the best I've ever seen in a videogame

You will get a LONG time playing the serious sam games, always have been long games and usually with a difficulty curve that makes them STUPIDLY long at points...but still a good game nonetheless

That's good. The demos do stretch some bits out into insanely fun lengths (namely the ending TSE demo on that big open plain with an entire army thrown at you) and having two games there will undoubtedly make stuff even longer.

To be honest, I'm glad Mortal Kombat has the lowest votes. That was the one I was most unsure about. I've had a spotty history in terms of how I do with fighting games and Mortal Kombat, as a series, has been pretty hit-and-miss with me.

I'd go with Crysis 2. Serious Sam is very cheap, so you could easily get it yourself after your birthday.

If you have other friends who own MK or are good at fighting games then MK, if you are more into shooters Serious Samn I reccomend once again if you have a freind or a few who own it. Crysis you can have fun with with-out friends but I grew bored of it quickly.

I voted Crysis 2, it's a decent game but honestly it didn't have much more value than a rental to me. MK would just piss me off for the most part. Serious Sam would actually probably be the best bang for the buck out of the three.

I'm changing my vote to Serious Sam HD!

I have a Compaq CQ60 laptop, which can't run anything more advanced than Diablo 2 (fuck it can't even run that). It's set up for word processing and internet access, not gaming in any real capacity.

Hence, I rely on my 360.

For what it's worth, the Serious Sam Gold Edition on Steam comes with the HD versions and the original 2001-2002 titles. You may not be able to run the HD versions on your laptop, but I guarantee the old versions will work fine.
