Majesco recently spoke with Eurogamer.net, to reveal that they intend to publish a remake of the 2001 PC classic Serious Sam to the Xbox Live Arcade this Summer, and for the low price of 1200 Microsoft Points.  

Dubbed Serious Sam HD, the game will include the entire first game with completely remade visuals, with enemies will spawn and overwhelm from every angle, and features online co-op with up to four friends. The surreal Egyptian setting will be spread across 12 levels, and we're promised dazzling, revamped visuals.

The charm of Serious Sam, which first appeared on PC in 2001, forms around controlling the swarms of baddies that are triggered when collecting ammo or reaching a new areas. There are bulls that charge, headless baddies that blow-up, ranged attackers, skeletal horse monsters and enormous bosses.

Sam's arsenal is as over-the-top as the situation, but deciding what to use and what to kill while dodging and scrapping is another matter. It's totally brilliant!

The game is being developed by Croteam, the original creators of Serious Sam, and as mentioned will be published by Majesco. Previously Majesco had only ever released one title through digital download on consoles - Psychonauts on Xbox Originals, so this will be their first foray into the Xbox Live Arcade.

With Perfect Dark, the original Call Of Duty, Battlefield 1943, and possibly Quake Arena Arcade all coming this year, it's going to be quite a full back end of the year for first person shooter fans.
