Here is the official post from Devolver Digital:
"During this busy season of video game releases the team at Devolver Digital realize that not every game will live up to expectations. One such game has been Medal Of Honor: Warfighter - yet another military shooter where cover is king and most folks spend their time peeking out from behind a wall or strategically place concrete barrier. That shit is weak. That's why we're pleased to announce the Serious Sam 3: BFE "Warfighter-Fighter" program. Over the next week we will be offering 100 free XBox LIVE Arcade downloads for Serious Sam 3: BFE to some of those affected so they can get up from behind that wall and get back to the unleashing of heavy ordinance upon a horde of brutal aliens just like our forefathers. Stand up and make your voice heard by simply tweeting your concerns about the stagnant modern military shooter with the hashtag #SeriousSam3XBLA and you'll be entered for a chance to win a Serious Sam 3 download - the perfect remedy for mundane, cover - based shooters. Spread the word and stay serious!" |
This is why I love Devolver Digital so much. They're not afraid to say what we - the gamers - are saying and that just happens to be "We're sick of the same old cliché modern military shooters." I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to be joining in on the festivities all this week to let all those big name developers and publishers know that if you flood the market, you're going to have some water damage.
Serious Sam 3: BFE has been released for PC and XBLA so go pick yourself up a copy, but only after the contest ends. A review for Serious Sam 3: BFE will be coming up shortly, so if you are still unsure about getting yourself a nice breath of fresh air from the stagnant FPS scene, then I will be sure to persuade you otherwise. Until then, enjoy the flame wars and keep it real.
