9:48
This is a video of the intro and the first episode (M'Digbo) and the first level (Jungle) of the FPS shooter, Serious Sam II on the Xbox.

Serious Sam II (or Serious Sam 2) is a science fiction first-person shooter video game released for the PC and Xbox and the sequel to the 2001 computer game Serious Sam. It was designed and developed by Croteam and was released on October 11, 2005. The game was published by 2K Games, a Take-Two Interactive subsidiary. In the single-player campaign, the player assumes the role of hero Sam "Serious" Stone in his adventures against the forces of the extraterrestrial overlord, "Mental", who seeks to destroy humanity. Taking place after the events of Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, Sam travels through various different worlds collecting parts of a medallion in an effort to defeat Mental. He is guided by the Sirian Great Council and receives sporadic aid from the natives of the worlds he visits. The multiplayer mode includes online co-op and deathmatch, the latter having been introduced in a patch. A 4.5/5.0 was awarded to Serious Sam by Computer Gaming World, though overall the game received moderate praise from the media, earning an average of 75% on Game Rankings.

[Sam is exploring the Jungle level on the planet M'Digbo, when he encounters a giant stone statue shaped like a gorilla's open mouth ... the mouth suddenly crumbles open to reveal a large shirtless man wearing a red helmet and swinging a large battleaxe]
ONAN THE LIBRARIAN: Look at me! I'm a big dumb barbarian! I have a god called Chrom! Beware of my axe!
[Onan begins throwing axes, but Sam (who is riding a velociraptor that shoots fireballs) is able to quickly defeat him]
SAM: Magic axe? What kinda pansy weapon is that?

From teamxbox.com:

ONAN THE LIBRARIAN
The extraterrestrial overlord Mental, being one of the smartest entities in the universe, got FURIOUS when he learned about a "Dead Librarians Society" - it seems that some of his minions decided to learn how to read and write. Instead of capital punishment, Mental decided to transform those "infidels" into the lowest form of intellect - barbarians.

Librarians, actually. Buffed up, "human" monstrosities, equipped with axes and chromed shields which will run at you full speed. The only evidence of their "crazy" youth is their eyes, which each seem to look in a different direction. While reading Sirian, they tried to make sense of the text in question, reading it from left to right and backwards. Too bad no one told them to read it bottoms up.

From gamemecca.net:

Return to the arch and continue past it. Your first big fight is up ahead when you near your objective, a large monkey statue with an entrance in the mouth. Two dropships will drop off a large amount of Grunts, nothing you can't take care of. This large Dino that you hopefully have can not only shoot fireballs, but can also mow down the enemies by running into them! No kidding, but that does mean you run a greater risk of getting him injured. And when he runs out of life you lose your ride. After that initial battle a new enemy emerges from up ahead, Onan the Librarian. He will throw axes at you and be accompanied by a few more Grunts. The charging technique will work well here. After they're dead look to the left of the water fall, and look up to find a Rocket Launcher on a wooden ledge. You need to shoot the support beam to bring it down and claim Secret #4.
