After a good 4 years (I kid you not) the waiting is finally over. As usual, the rest of the publishers have by and large stayed clear of this long awaited date. It seems, however, that Sega either didn’t get the memo or didn’t care.

I’m honestly surprised that there haven’t been more SOCOM titles. Military shooters are always in fashion, and combined with the mystique of the Navy SEALS you’d think they’d be lining the shelves every other year.

March 1, 2010
Despite the relatively high number of releases this week, it’s pretty much devoid of anything really exciting unless you’re into baseball games or yet another military shooter. It’s a Battlefield game of course so that carries some weight with it, but it barely had any hype.
