I hate driving games, I find them boring but I love driving in real life and everything about cars. I want to work for Car & Driver just so I can be around cars all the time and be a test driver.

However that is a hard job to get so I will become a Cop instead so I can drive all day.

I play Socom because I like the action and the teamwork that it CAN involve at times.

honestly, in the back of my head, I've always thought that socom games had subliminal messaging in it to say "join us" in its own way, especialy in light of iraq.

i dont think that anymore tho.

My interest was sparked when I started playing and was owning everyone, but the interest kinda went away after a dark, almost winless week of socom. lol After that, I started thinking that I'm using a controller and not my full body. I can't run without taking breaks. lol

maybe if socom went to the wii, I'd recondsider. lmao

Qball, Thanks for serving!! Are you on a ship or land based?

yea no problem, I am currently an instructor about to go back to a ship. I was on a ship for 4+ years and on shore for about 2 and a half. I think the thing that irritates me most is the when I see people just rush into a room guns blazing and kill some people but die themselves. I think to myself what a moron and that is so unrealistic. Like i said earlier, I think it is fun without a doubt but the realism of the tactics used are fake...ie, Citadel, in real life the terrorists would just run to the big roof post one or 2 snipers on the roof and everyone else would just camp to fortify their position. The seals best tactical move would be to try and occupy the small roof and fortify that position. But where would the fun be in that? But it is just a game so play on....

I'm going to have to agree with zaRoo. I, as well, am in the Marine Corps (still student status so have never seen Iraq yet). But just because we do this **** in real life has nothing to do with what we like when it comes to video games, movies, and entertainment.

For me, the only game I play is Socom. I've been playing it since Socom 1 and must say it kind of egged me towards joining the military in the first place (just not the ****ing Navy). But, also, like zaRoo said...I love games like FIFA, what am I doing every week--rain, snow, sunshine--playing soccer.

I'm sure I'd be playing BMX games a lot if they ever came out with a good one because what else do I love doing in the real world? Riding my bicycle.

Very rarely will you find me playing some gayass Final Fantasy or fictional game like that. I have no relation, therefore no interest.

can they play any online games over there? i know that they have like myspaces and stuff so that shows they do have internet, and i saw pictures of people playing Xbox, but i was just wondering if they can ever play games online...
