The folks over at Sony just released a slew of brand new screenshots showing the upcoming SOCOM title for the PSP.

“We got lots of positive emotions while developing RIP and RIP: Strike Back. We were excited, when we got positive feedback from the gamers and the press.” said Natalie Lekomtseva at White Elephant, “We are really happy to work with Meridian4 to release the games in North America.”

“The moment we tried RIP and RIP Strike Back, we were hooked. They’re addictive, back-to-basics top-down shooters that bring back the fun in games.” said Steve Milburn, Director at Meridian4, “With their non-stop shooting action, once you start playing, you won’t want to stop.”

Expect more on these games very soon.

Commandos is one of Eidos’ longer running series, dating back to the original PlayStation days. However, fans of those titles may be disappointed to find that Commandos Strike Force is a far departure from that interesting action-RTS hybrid the older ones used to be. Instead, it’s now just a cookie cutter WWII-era first person shooter. Does it do anything to stand out against the sea of other WWII shooters?

Strike Force is set up in missions, each with their own primary and secondary objectives. Sounds par for the course, and it is, but they shake things up by giving you not only the freedom to accomplish your goals in any manner you see fit, there’s also the option to attack them as one of three characters. Each of the characters has a different skill set so it’ll alter how you play a mission, thus giving you a reason to play through the levels more than once. It’s a reason, but there are other reasons not to, which I’ll discuss later.

The three characters you can control are separated into three different types – a sniper, a beret, and a spy. As the sniper you’ll, of course, have your requisite long range sniper rifle as well as a set of throwing knives with which to silently kill nearby enemies. And you can always walk over a body to retrieve the knife you just threw. The beret plays like your standard foot soldier – proficient with a variety of guns. The spy presents the most interesting way to infiltrate an enemy camp as he is capable of donning enemy clothing. By doing so, you can sneak in and walk amongst the enemy like one of their own. However, catch the peeking eye of a high-ranking official and you can say goodbye to your cover.

The variety in which you can approach a mission adds tons of replay to Commandos. Unfortunately, it does a lot of other things wrong that will turn some off from playing through them all again.

Turns out a Star Wars game somehow managed to sneak under the radar for the last few months. Ubisoft is developing Star Wars Shadow Strike for the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. Shadow Strike is scheduled to be released on May 26 and is an “action” game. Not much else is known about the title, but with a May 26 release date it’s likely that more information will become available soon or the game will be delayed, so stay tuned!
