Steam’s got Serious Sam HD up for pre-order at £16.19. The game’s now gold.

It’ll be unlocking on November 24.

The game’s the same thing you played years ago. But prettier. If you like shooting a lot of mental frogs, you’re in the right place.

CDV has announced that Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter will be shown at PAX 2009.

An new PC game from the firm will also be shown, and while CDV refused to name it, the mailer did call it a “high profile” game.

Also of note, is that designer Marc Ecko will be at the CDV booth on Saturday, September 5, signing limited-edition Ecko brand t-shirts created specifically for this year’s expo.

During the signings, several DS systems will be given away to commemorate Ecko’s collaboration in the development of CDV’s new puzzler, I Heart Geeks.

Fashion. Giveaways. Serious Sam. A new RPG.

Sounds like our kind of PAX booth.

GameTrailers has a new video for Serious Sam HD available, which we’ve posted after the break.

Granted, it’s Serious Sam so we know what to expect, but still – it’s done in HD.

You like HD. So do we.

CVG’s got some new shots of Serious Sam HD. It’s awesome. There’s no way this cannot be. You shoot stuff with big guns. And that’s it.

It’s out this autumn.

Serious Sam HD screenshots have popped up over on Shack.

You can view ‘em here.

While you’re at it, Devolver Digital is seeking the best one-liners and wisecracks from the community via responses to its Twitter feed. The winner’s remarks will be featured in the game.

SSHD is expected to arrive on Xbox Live and PC this summer, with the XBLA version will run you 1200 MS Points ($15/£10.20). No price point for PC has been announced, yet.

Croteam CEO Roman Ribaric has said that the firm may release Serious Sam on PS3 if enough people tell him it’s a good idea.

“We [have considered] doing PSN after we finish PC and XBLA,” he told G4.

“However, we keep hearing over and over from publishers, investors, marketing and other suits that players from one console, in this case PSN, wouldn’t want to get it later, let’s say eight months and seven days after, if it’s released sooner on the other console, here that would be XBLA. I would normally say that’s a lot of bull, but I will refrain here from my comment. What do your readers think?”

Ribaric said that the game is only planned for 360 and PC at the moment as Croteam couln’t find additional funding or a team willing to try the port in a short time-frame.

It’s out this autumn.

Devolver Digital is apparently involved in the Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD coming to Xbox Live, and it has been discovered by BigDownload that the company is owned by none other than Mike Wilson and Harry Miller.

You know, the guys from Gamecock and GodGames?

When contacted by the site, Wilson said he and Miller “along with a few other old friends” are involved in the venture.

“We’re basically acting as the production company for the XBLA game, since we are not an official MSFT publisher yet, and will be publishing the PC version of the games,” he said.

“Croteam owns the IP still since they had a G.O.D. deal, and are therefore able to work with us again on the new version(s).”

They’re baaaaack.

The first screens of Serious Sam HD, the XBLA remake of Croteam’s FPS, are up on EG.

There’s only one way this is going. And that’s the way of awesome.

It’s out later this summer.
