The pace of new PC game releases has slowed with many titles this week making their US debut exclusively via download:

Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter: Croteam steps up with this graphical revamp of their 2001 released first person shooter. Now you can see giant bulls and headless men with bombs charging at you with lots more polygons via Croteam's Serious Engine 3. This game is a Steam download exclusive.

Twin Sector: This is an unusual blend of sci-fi first person action and adventure game puzzle solving from developer DnS Development. Your character has been put into suspended animation in an underground complex. Now the character awakens and, with the help of some gravity-controlling gloves, she must try to restart the power and systems in the complex to save mankind.

Blood Bowl: While released via download directly by Cyanide Studio for the US market a few months ago, this mix of football and fantasy strategy (based on the Games Workshop war game) gets a new lease on life thanks to the game being released on Steam this week. This new version includes the newly added Dark Elves playable faction.

King Arthur: The latest interpretation of the classic British fantasy legend comes from, ironically, Hungarian based developer NeoCore Games. This mix of RTS and RPG has you commanding the entire Knights of the Round Table against both human enemies along with fantasy creatures:
