We feel sorry for the oft-misunderstood <em>SOCOM: Tactical Strike</em>. Fans who bought the game were surprised to see it wasn't a shooter -- instead, it was a methodically paced strategy game which required patience, intelligence and nerves of steel. PSP Fanboy reader Jason <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/10/deal-of-the-day-socom-tactical-strike-for-20/#c9221266">commented</a> earlier: "I guess if you bought it without checking out any previews and thought it was an action shooter, then yeah, it could be a let down. If you play the first mission with the tutorial it shows you everything you need to know and it does it in a real game situation."<br /><br />For those of you ready to take the plunge into the full game, check out this week's Best Buy circulars. You'll see that <em>Tactical Strike</em> is on sale this week for a measly $20. Go to your local Best Buy, or simply buy <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8402971&amp;st=tactical+strike&amp;lp=1&amp;type=product&amp;cp=1&amp;id=1180742577753">online</a>.

<p>After reading <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/26/psp-fanboy-hands-on-socom-tactical-strike/">Andrew gush</a> over <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/category/socom/"><em>SOCOM: Tactical Strike</em></a> like a schoolgirl with her first crush, it's hard not to be intrigued at Sony's upcoming tactical shooter. To add to that excitement are these new gameplay videos, which, not only feature the game's impressive squad-based gameplay, but also its multi-language voice acting for our international friends out there. Pretty cool stuff.<br /></p><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/30/new-socom-tactical-strike-vids-awesome-in-several-languages/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>New SOCOM: Tactical Strike vids awesome in several languages</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/30/new-socom-tactical-strike-vids-awesome-in-several-languages/">New SOCOM: Tactical Strike vids awesome in several languages</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:30:00 EST.
