Electronic Entertainment Expo

is what E3 means and is one of the biggest Game Expo’s of the calender year. E3 will begin in less than 2 weeks on June 15 till 17th and i expect will bring great news many have been waiting to hear. Yes the final release date for Gran Turismo 5. GT5 was already announced for release in Japan for March 2010 but that release date got canceled due to the 3D ability being added to the game so now after many more months of waiting we hope to hear the final release date at E3.

There are also rumors that the PS3 Move might be added and maybe we might hear about this at E3. Im expecting big things from GT5 i believe there will be tons of features we couldnt possibly dream of added to the game which we may or may not hear about untill the release.

Either we will hear a release date for GT5 or not E3 is still set to be an amazing 3 days of gaming news and you can expect RobGroove.com to post Big news whenever it happens as well as the live Sony conference stream on this blog. Watch this space.

SOCOM II in HD

Vote it up!

Quite often i hear fellow gamers bangin on about how SOCOM II was the best game ever made and how no SOCOM has compared to it since and even though SOCOM 4 is coming out at the end of this year alot of SOCOM II fans still want it brought back in HD as they believe SOCOM 4 will just be a sell out trying to tap into some of the success COD MW2 had and who can blame them. MW2 was a massive! success outselling blockbusting movies.

I personally think SOCOM 4 will be better than most believe but what the hell, im allways up for another PSN exclusive and think it would be interesting to bring SOCOM II back in HD just to see what they’re all bangin on about. Zipper (creators of SOCOM) did say they might not bring S2 back as it may be one of those situations where some things are better left in the past and there’s a possibility that bringing it back in HD might destroy that memory for everyone who played the original. With that said though, there are still about 150 people still playing SOCOM II online with their PS2′s everyday which amazes me as SOCOM is now 6 years old (SOCOM II 2004) and we have since come up a generation in consoles.

Maybe there is something amazing and special about SOCOM II, maybe it can be re released in HD and still offer the same feelings for a new generation of gamers. There’s alot of talk going on in the socom forums only time will tell but while we’re waiting for this to happen you can be a part of this push and vote this up on the PSN share blog. so click on the link or picture below and place your vote.
