Instagib is a modification for Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. In this mod, like other instagib mods, you spawn with the sniper rifle as your only weapon (no knife, no pistol!). This weapon will gib your enemies in one shot. In addition, the accuracy of the weapon will be pinpoint, requiring precise aiming. To promote faster gameplay, the sniper scope is disabled, effectively making the weapon like a railgun. The default Serious Sam: TSE deathmatch maps will be used in this mod. Any custom deathmatch levels made by the community will also work in Instagib: SE. Download Instagib here and be sure to grab this patch file!
Place it in your ModsInstagib folder replacing the file that is already there. This fixes a bug where Instagib will erase your SE quicksaves.

Day of Defeat mod version 2 for Half-Life has been released!
Day of Defeat is a World War II multiplayer total conversion of "Half-life." DoD attempts to recreate WWII battles in both fictional and non-fictional environments. DoD puts you in the shoes (rather, combat boots!) of either an Allied or Axis soldier circa 1944, Western Europe. Day of Defeat is a class based first person shooter - upon arrival in game, you will have the choice to play different types of soldiers - from Rifleman to Machinegunners, to Snipers. Each class has its own mix of special abilities and weapons.

Currently this Beta 2.0 has a bug with Admin Mod, which the developers are aware of and will fix this in a patch shortly.

Just had an email from ASELabs.com that they have just done a Serious Sam: Second Encounter Review.

Here's a byte from their review

The game rocks if you love the shoot ?em all genre. One of the best graphics available in today?s games combined with great sound and a lot of humor make this game a worthy sequel. If the game?s price will stay at 20$ which the first Sam retailed for there no valid reason not to buy this game.

Woo, Croteams latest game based on the self developed Serious engine is already for sale in Europe. To get you an impression on what the game has to offer and if it is worth your money we have taken a closer look at the latest FPS released. Check out our review here.

VoodooExtreme has reviewed EA's MoH:AA. Here's a snip to make your mouth water: How important is a good story to a video game, and is it as essential to great gameplay as many people would believe nowadays? Given the relatively high production value of today's games, is it justifiable to expect thirty or forty hours of playing time, knowing full well that games have become such a high-profile business? These are just some of the questions that lingered in my head after finishing the single-player chapter of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. If I had to encompass MoH in a single sentence, I'd say this is the kind of game that made me believe in the bright future of gaming, and at the same time, strengthened my belief that we're still far off from the level of professionalism needed to boost this form of entertainment to a more prominent cultural level.
