SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals

September is upon us and you’re feeling patriotic, but that doesn’t mean you need to run to the recruiting office just yet. With SOCOM, you can satisfy your urge to combat terrorism in the comfort of your own Barcalounger. One shot, one kill—this unforgiving, ultrarealistic console shooter is unlike any other. By donning a headset that comes with the game, you’re in charge of your very own commando squad composed of computer drones or online mercenaries. Simply barking the orders “Boomer, open fire!” (yep, you actually talk into the thing) results in maneuvers that make Rambo look more like the nancy boys from American Idol. If you’re a hands-on type of guy, you can do the dirty work yourself, but why risk ruining your R&R with the hoochies by taking a bullet? That’s what the teammate you recruited from Kansas is for.
