If this is real, I’m gonna buy this game all over again, even if it means I have to pick up a 360. I love Serious Sam to an almost unhealthy degree, and this trailer makes the HD upgrade look even more awesome. In “Super Happy Fun Time” mode, the usual gibs and gore are replaced with stars, lollipops, and other pleasant things — not unlike Penny Arcade’s Gears of Conflict Resolution. Watch it in HD over at GameTrailers if you want to get the full effect.

They’ve really gone all out on an advertising campaign for what is essentially a game that came out almost a decade ago. Remember the creepy supermercial from a couple months back?

I’m sad this redux is going to be XBLA-only; I would love to have it on my PC. Who knows, maybe they’ll surprise me yet again.
