If you have never tried the Serious Sam series of first person shooters from developer Croteam, Thursday may be the day to finally give in. Fan site Seriously received word from publisher Devolver Digital that a new Serious Sam HD Gold Edition will be released via Steam on Thursday.

The four game collection will have both the original 2001 versions of Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter along with the new "HD" graphical updates of both games. The total price for the collection will by $39.99. Croteam is still supposedly working on an all new Serious Sam game but there's been no real update on that game's status in a while.
