Seen these Gamecube titles in person?

[UndeadKing]

I've been calling around looking for these recent gamecube release but have since had no luck. Sure, I could order them online, but I'd prefer to find them "in the wild," so to speak, so I don't have to pay S&H.

Space Raiders
Serious Sam Next Encounter

I used the store availability on Gamestop's website(apparently the only store to carry the games) and no store within 200 miles of me has either in stock. I'm just curious if anyone has seen either of these in store yet. I'm quite close to just saying "screw it" and ordering online.

Space Raiders arrived in stores TODAY.

Not sure about Serious Sam, though. Could very well be in today too.

What the hell is Space Raiders?

It's a future 'rare' title, I'd bet.

[Crush Crawfish]

What the Hell? I've never even heard of Space Raiders untill just now! Anyone know what it plays like?

[UndeadKing]

Oobgarm,
Thanks, just checked again and saw that my local gamestop has 4+ copies of Space Raiders. guess I have to be a little more patient.

It's sort of a 3D Space Invaders update from Taito.

Danke schoen, Undead King. I guess I better hurry up and review another one of these 989 Sports titles so I can make a trade-in for Space Raiders.

BTW, on an unrelated note, Skies of Arcadia kicks ass on the Cube. That is all.

No store within 200 miles of me has Serious Sam either....but I actually didn't even know this game was released. I think I'll order it online though, because I really enjoyed the SS games on PC.

I got Space Raiders almost two weeks ago when I made a visit to Fry's. Ive not seen Serious Sam yet, and didnt know that it was out. Is this one Cube exclusive too, or is it going to be on the Xbox as well?

[josekortez]

How is Space Raiders, Stu?

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Serious Sam was already out on XBox (nearly a year ago)
It's coming out for GC/PS2 shortly
(Early May, if I'm not mistaken)

[PapaStu]

Honestly jose, I've not played it yet. My GC is unplugged and im out of space to hold GC games at my apt, so its still sitting in its case back at my parents house.

Samurai Smurfette: No the Serious Sam thats comming out is the Sequel to the XBox game, (which was the PC port of the first batch of Serious Sam games). I just looked it up, and its suppose to be out today, and will be out for the PS2 and the GC.

You missed the boat apparently.

The Cube/PS2 version is a NEW game.

Anyway, apparently shipments were delayed. The game was SUPPOSED to be out last Tuesday. But of course, no.. it didn't come in. And apparently not anywhere. Hmm.. I wonder if the official web site say anything...

[StrychNiNE]

I hear the PS2/GC version of Serious Sam is...."not good"
I've been thinking about picking up the XBox version simply for CO-OP mindless blasting fun. But I won't pay more than 10 for it...so the search continues.

If the GC and PS2 versions are anywhere NEAR as good as the Xbox one, the game will fucking rock.

Unless all the people who tell you the Cube/Station ones suck are morons that don't know fun when it sets them on fire with a flamethrower..

NO ONE badmouths Duke Nukem's rightful successor. NO ONE!

And, my store just lowered the price of the remaining Xbox one to $9.99.. I bought mine at $17.99 at GS. It was well worth $39.99.

I think the Cube one will rock almost as good as the Xbox one. And Serious Sam 2 will kick fucking ASS!!!

Duke Nukem has no successor. NOBODY can live up to that; I don't care how bad-ass you think your name is: Serious Sam, Will Rock, Tuff. E. Nuff...

Duke Nukem is so last millennium. He lost my faith when the game got pushed back to "When it's Done!"

Who's Will Rock or Tuff E. Nuff?

Serious Sam is a serious upgrade to the Duke Nukem persona. Even the creators have been waiting patiently for Duke Forever. I think "When it's Done" will be never.

Picked up Space Raiders today. Only played about 10 minutes, but I'm loving it thus far. Picture Space Invaders with a third person perspective and you have Space Raiders. Pure old school addictive arcade style action. There appears to be a chaining system to rack up a nice score.

I'd highly recommend this if you're into the classic gaming style. While there is a "story" mode, it's clearly all about the score. If going for a high score doesn't interest you, I imagine this game will get rather stale quickly.

[Ed Oscuro]

Heh, I wonder if Space Raiders (rhymes with Invaders - why I never!) can possibly have a sequel. Heh.

Is this on PS2? I guess it makes sense that they've been doing that Space Invaders revival stuff (tabletop etc.) recently.

Man, I've never felt so hyped about a game after just reading for a few minutes! An' Space Invaders really isn't my sort of game either! :P

[Ed Oscuro]

Haha name already taken ;p~
