My first experience with SOCOM was the last one by Slant 6 which I keep hearing was a bad game but I enjoyed the hell out of it. I think I played it for about a year straight. What I kept hearing though was how "it's not as good as SOCOM 2" and "it's glitchy as hell"  but it seems to me as though Zipper (Original creators of SOCOM and MAG) have got it right with this one. The multiplayer game play looks just like I  remember it but with some great new tweaks to it and with the option to  play the game in a huge range of different ways I just KNOW! that this game is gonna be greater than it's ever been. #TIP SOCOM is the kind of game that requires a strong clan and great team work so make sure you find a clan and stick with them. The SOCOM beta is expected to arrive on our PS3's some time in March (possibly the begining of April) and for those of you who have PSN+ accounts you should get it free. USA PS3 gamers will have to pre-order Killzone 3 for the beta.]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/socom-multiplayer-video-sick/3240/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/socom-4-april-19th-in-usa-no-uk-date/3122/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/socom-4-april-19th-in-usa-no-uk-date/3122/#comments Fri, 28 Jan 2011 06:53:33 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=3122

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 [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/socom-ii-in-hd/1396/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-leaderboard/889/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-leaderboard/889/#comments Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:00:18 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=889
20th in Europe Ive been hitting MAG pretty hard before the release of FF XIII so when i go back on i won't be too far behind the rest of the clan, So there i am started on SVER as lvl 1 on the Saturday and managed to make it to lvl 51 by Monday. I had to work on the tuesday so i couldn't stay on it to late so i got off about 10pm (UK time) and went through my emails before hitting the sack. Then you know how it is, you start by reading a couple emails and you end up surfing that internet wave which started off in the UK and ended up in MAG territory. I stumbled onto the MAG website and noticed they now have beta Leaderboards so i thought i'd have a quick look to see if i made it on there (i had been hammering MAG pretty hard for the last 3 days) and what do you know i placed 20th in the "this week"s "Europe" top scores board. I was so happy i had to take a screen shot, its not too often i get on leaderboards. On the flip side [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-leaderboard/889/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/im-a-ps3/702/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/im-a-ps3/702/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:00:54 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=702
Its a great time to be PS3 Uncharted 2, THE! best single player game i have ever played tp date. Little Big Planet, So cute, loads of fun, great to play with friends also using the eye toy. One of few games to use the eye toy in game and it works very well, you'll see alot more of the camera in games when the ARC is released later in 2010. Gran Turismo 5 im sure will blow everyone away. Its been confirmed that the Top Gear test track will apear in the game aswell as awesome features such as the ability to track your head movements with the eye cam to give you a very subtle realistic feeling, like your actually looking through the windscreen of your car and the feature all games should have, The ability to upload any of your replays to youtube. Heavy Rain, should be another awesome new experience for us PS3ers cant wait to play through the whole story. MAG Ive been playing the HELL! out of this game over the last few days. Its FPS on a whole new level never really before seen on any console and its a PS3 Exclusive.

Just got word of the PSN blog that Zipper interactive are letting EVERYONE who's interested in MAG to have a play this weekend.  They're also challenging us all to a war just look out for players bearing the Zipper clan tags. The MAG 4.5 beta is only meant for gamers from the USA but if your elsewhere in the world you can simply make a fake USA account. if you are unable to make a USA account just look on youtube i had a quick look and found this one. Once you have your USA account you can sign in to the PSN to get your MAG Beta Download HERE My advice is to go get this NOW if you wanna play this weekend as the download installn & update Process can take quite a few hours so go get it to be ready for the weekend. Heres the Times Zipper will be on MAG to challenge us all online this weekend and remember this is the end of the beta so after this weekend you wont get another chance to play it until the game released in 2010. Pacific: 6pm-8pm Mountain: 7pm-9pm Central: 8pm-10pm Eastern: 9pm-11pm Hawaii: 4pm-6pm Alaska: [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/mag-beta-for-everone-this-fridaysaturday/88/feed/ 0
