I only play SOCOM 3.
I dont play as much as I used to, its usually a really bad day of playing (getting killed alot) that makes me not play for a couple of weeks. I suppose its a self inflicted suspension, I am playing more now than in the past few months as I have been bogged down with preperation for my finals so I need a way to take out my stress in the safest way I can think of.

I dont want to name names but there was a kid on my team a few hours ago who was literally suicidle, he was a total wreck. He was serious about it (pretty impresive if he was a fake) and he said this is the last thing he can do (play S3) to keep him calm. He was a cool kid, shame he has issues really.
The reason I didnt play SOCOM 1 is that it wasnt really marketed as a huge game in England, SOCOM 2 had pretty much no marketing in England, and when I moved to the US I think I saw SOCOM 3 in Wal-Mart or Virgin so I just felt like getting it. I thought that if they have got 3 games in the chain then something has to be good somewhere right? :?
