The FPS gun fest of past Serious Sam titles is with us no more, and in comes the 2D shoot-em-up known as Serious Sam Double D XXL. Available on the XBLA, does “SS DD XXL” live up to the past games in the series?
Metal Gear is certainly no stranger to stories that tend to spiral out of control resulting in a chaotic mess that can be at times harder to watch than it is to follow, but Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance may possibly be one of the most motley entries thus far to the Metal Gear canon.
