    Gamecock has announced that it will publish the upcoming "military tactical-action shooter" from Croteam, developers of the Serious Sam series. The game is heading to PC and "specific next-gen consoles." Lets hope the Xbox 360 is "specific" enough to warrant a port.Along side the announcement is the unveiling of Croteam's Serious Engine 3. A handful of screenshots of the engine in motion have been released, and they do look mighty impressive. We'll have to agree with Joystiq though, we're waiting to see the game in motion before we call it good. Besides, these shots showcase a serious lack of enemies with bombs for heads. What's the deal with that? Check out the Serious Engine 3 gallery below.%Gallery-3139%

    Croteam, makers of the hotly debated "is it cool or is it too silly" title Serious Sam, have announced a new PS3 project slated for 2009 release. After the crazy action found in Serious Sam, we'd be interested to see if they're continuing on their kooky streak, or will take a more serious tone with their work. This untitled new game will be published by Gamecock Media Group and will not be a sequel in the Serious Sam franchise.Mike Wilson at Gamecock issued this statement on the upcoming title: "It's definitely in a genre they are familiar with and will exploit their experience ... These guys also have a strong sense of style and design, so you will find the premise and gameplay intriguing ... You know that the one thing Croteam is the best at - better than most every other developer in the world - is making games that are frantic and, most importantly, fun. This title is definitely both of those things."From this quote, we imagine the game will be a first-person title with fast, frantic action. Not much else is known, so we'll find out later, probably. There are a few screenshots available and they look a lot more "realistic" and serious than previous titles, but it might just be a front to fool us. Thoughts?
