  1. SOCOM: Confrontation

    1 week ago

    Since my review of F.E.A.R., It's been a long time since I've come across a game that could fuel the fires of an irritated, annoyed, and soul-shatteringly abusive rant that I was almost able to forget how embarassingly aggrivating some games could be. Read more

    Because SOCOM is running smoothly most of the time, it is fun to play. You get what you expect from an online shooter and the different maps are varied, though some more wouldn't have hurt. At some moments, such as placing and searching the bomb, it can be pretty exciting but do not act too fast, as tactics prevail. Read more

    Features 2-32 Players (Online Only) HDD Space Required: 3.1 GB Supported HD Output: 720p/1080i/1080p THX Certified DualShock 3 Compatible On a fateful day in November 2001 I made the conscious decision to support Microsoft and their fledgling new console, the Xbox. And from that day on, I sat there in my MS fanboy underwear chanting “go MS, go!!� When SOCOM (short for United States Special Operations Command) first premiered on the PS2 in August of 2002 it...

    Despite the catastrophic US launch of SOCOM: Confrontation, the European release proved less problematic.  Although the PS3 exclusive had its issues, it was still met with great anticipation, until players realised that, actually, they'd been taken for quite a ride.  As well as the game freezing, players were disconnected from the server, experienced graphical glitches and generally had a bad time.  By the time the game made it across the water, the issues had been...

    It was bound to happen. Finally a game developer has given up on finding a compelling story. They have not bothered with hours of single-player gameplay through highly detailed, spectacular and varied environments. At last they are fed up with all those lukewarm reviews and disgruntled posts saying that while the game was good it was too short, had no replayability and the online component was limited and disappointing.

    I love the controls and once you have them down, you feel like you are in full control of a highly efficient tactical weapon. Even if he can't run w/ night vision on, and that that night vision actually hinders your ability to see anything in detail, unless you adjust TV brightness and are in a dark area of a map. However if you can see in the dark w/out night vision goggles, you'll be all the better for it because the gameplay is simply great. The maps are huge and... Read more
