SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 is the latest in a line of semi-successful shooters for the PSP. The SOCOM games are yet another spin on a long-since-tired formula of terrorists versus American special forces, bad versus good in a struggle to stop someone detonating something somewhere at some time.

Star Trek Online by Sean Bamberger | 27-02-10

When Cryptic (developers of the excellent superhero massive multiplayer online game, Champions Online) released Star Trek Online earlier this month we drew a sharp breath. A game that promises full space/ground combat, player versus player (PVP) combat and a metric tonne of customisation options...these are all grand ideas indeed even before you take the subject matter into account: Star Trek; possessing a ravenous and loyal fanbase for decades, satisfying them is surely a task too great for even an established MMO dev? Well, minus some bugs, we can safely say that Cryptic have done a bang-up job!

Let's get straight to business. Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter is an update of the brain-dislocatingly mental first person death-a-thon released by Croteam a few years ago, and it is also a bloody great game. But why, we hear you ask?

Hands-On: Monster Hunter Tri at London's Science Museum by Sean Bamberger | 14-02-10

For a lot of us here at Square-Go, Nintendo has been an integral part of our childhood. Whenever a Super Mario or Tetris theme is hummed or whistled, we are instantly struck with feelings of nostalgia of days spent infront of a screen, no Xbox Live or PSN to connect us to the rest of the world. Just us, a fizzy drink or two and a rotund plumber leaping from brick to block. Which is why when Nintendo chose to invite us to the 'Monster Hunter University' in order to learn about the latest title in the series, Monster Hunter Tri,we were more than happy to open our minds back to a younger state, and be treated more like the youth than the jaded cynics we all are now.
