My brother-in-law is a police officer and loved Socom. He tried to get me into it, but I think I was into another game at the time, which I can't remember for the life of me. And because of that, I never tried it. It was also on Playstation, which I couldn't ever get a handle on FPS games for consoles rather than PC. (Although, I did have a fairly long stint playing COD: Black Ops on the Xbox360 when that came out.)
Socom was the game that go me hooked on that kind of tactitcal stuff.
Been watching gameplay on MGS5 and played the beta prelogue or whatever it's called. That one is tempting also. Does it have a coop campaign? I think there is a second character someone can play.

Come to think of it, most of the games I've played on the Playstation consoles have been car-related (I love me some Gran Turismo), Grand Theft Auto, or Metal Gear Solid, and almost all of the games I've played on my desktop have been FPS.
Although, Age of Empires II (I believe it was version II) and Command and Conquer: Red Alert were two of my favorite PC games for a very, very long time. Along with the SimCity series.
I totally remember that. Wasn't there also a dirt bike / ATV game out around that time, as well? Or am I thinking late 90's/early or mid-2000's? It was a go-anywhere type game--you weren't kept on a course. I just looked up ATV Offroad Fury, and while that rings a bell, I don't think that's what I'm thinking of?My brother-in-law is a police officer and loved Socom.

My favorite racing game is MotorStorm Pacific Rift. The graphics, vehicle types and maps are incredible.

That's crazy. Not only that you can be in the cab of an 18 wheeler, but that someone put together over 3 hours of footage for almost every map, haha.
. Wifey plays too. We do split screen with Call of Duty, we've played Socom together coop (different rooms with headsets on - you can hear "OH SHIZNICK I'M DOWN" from the other room LOL. She also will play a round or two of golf with me. Most guys are impressed and even jealous that she plays with me instead of giving hell for playing.
