    Default Xbox Graphical Limits tested by Serious Sam...

    We are playing Serious Sam and we're on the last level in the giant courtyard where all the thousands of enemies come at you in droves and it was only the first wave of enemies. The Beheaded Kamikaze.

    He was playing around and went around to the back of the giant castle as some of the Kamikaze followed him and he picked them off for a laugh. Picked up his treasure and came around the other side.

    When he got back he looked through his Sniper Telescope and saw about 100 more all together coming at him.

    They're all screaming and running at him and when they get close to him the Box freezes and skips for about 8 seconds before it catches up and a few explode.

    It was funny to see how such a powerful system got tested to the limit by such a Serious game.

    Funny thing is I'd never seen that many enemies in this game at once. They usually come in smaller groups, but obviously he tricked the game into spawning more onto the map or maybe it was just because they were all in one place and it had to think when it had to calculate the new score, and draw every enemy die at once.

    I guess that's why the Serious Bomb (A bomb that takes every active enemy our at once) turns the screen completely white when it explodes.

    I love this game! I wonder how it'll perform when the new Cube side-quest comes out.

    Serious Sam: Word to the Mothership

    Coming out in the Spring for the Gamecube and PS2. It's a side chapter created by Climax to tide us over while Croteam works on their Serious Sam 2 sequel for the Xbox and PC.

    I don't care what it's on, I just hope it lives up to that good old first Sam goodness!

    Includes a bunch of new enemies and features.

    There's a short preview in last months Game Informer. (With Riddick on the cover.)
