Its been a few weeks since we had an Open File installment but things are still happening on the many Filefront affiliated websites so without further delay we jump into this weeks edition. The files listed in this feature are selected by the Filefront Hosted Site admins and each week we highlight the most exciting add ons, maps or mods for some of the hottest games in the PC gaming universe. Before linking to the various files and maps for your favorite games its time for a little news.

First, we have a change coming to one of the file sites - namely FarCryFiles. With the announcement and upcoming release of Far Cry 2, the site is taking its first steps to adopt a new name - FarCryFiles will soon become FarCry2Files. This change will combine the current content for Far Cry with the files aimed at its upcoming sequel.

Now, the Croatian magazine, Gameplay, has some screenshots that will knock your socks off. Luckily, fansite Seriously! has gotten permission to post the screens for everyone to see.

    Not all of the images are from the Serious Sam title. Some are even just to show off the engine. I think you’ll agree that whatever they’re for, they rock. You can check them out here.

    Serious SamIt’s being reported that Croteam, the Croatian developer of the Serious Sam series, has said it is working on Serious Sam 3. The rumor is that Croteam revealed the information in an interview with Croatian magazine GamePlay. The gameplay will be the same style as the Serious Sam games of the past, built on a new version of the Serious engine. According to the article, the game is a “military tactical-action shooter” that takes place in the present day. As yet, no info on what platforms the game will launch on have been announced, but you can expect it to be on PC at the very least.

    More info on this as it becomes available.
