Serious Sam, as mentioned before, was vastly different from most first-person shooters released at the time. It was priced as a budget game, but was easily AAA in quality. It focused less on storylines and more on action. It had an engine that allowed for huge amounts of enemies that still looked decent, even on low-end systems. In other words, it came out of nowhere and impressed the first-person shooter community like few games have since. 08/03/10
