Protect America and freedom from enemy forces in urban and rural warfare in SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs – Combined Assault. This builds on the strengths of the multimillion-selling franchise to firmly establish both its single-player and multiplayer as equally outstanding game experiences. Created in association with U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs – Combined Assault is as close as a player can get to being a Navy Seal on the PlayStation 2.
The PlayStation 2 system’s top online gaming franchise continues its assault with an all-new 4-player cooperative play, improved enemy behavior and tactics, and new vehicles and weapons for campaign mode. Command the most feared Special Forces team ever assembled through a single, massive Area of Operation with varied missions spanning across multiple diverse regions.
Players can experience the campaign mode in single player or in 4-player online cooperative mode. Additionally, players will have the option to select an individual tactical mission area that was previously completed, and play it as a stand-alone, or ‘Instant Action’, mission in 4-player online cooperative play. Players can then customize these Instant Action missions for nearly endless replay.
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs – Combined Assault also contains the full SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs multiplayer online game with all maps, patches and updates included and it will be completely compatible with SOCOM 3 Online multiplayer. In addition it will feature new competitive 32-player maps, exclusive to the game. Improved crosstalk functionality between SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2 and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs – Combined Assault allows each game to have even more dramatic effects on the progression of the other, in addition to unlocking special features across the titles.
This title is only £7.95 at Blah DVD.

Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth Of Destiny, on the PlayStation 2, is the second game in the Atelier Iris series.
This highly anticipated sequel not only gives players an entirely new cast of characters to get to know, but also offers two different worlds to explore, where the actions in one can have a massive effect on the other. Players take on the roles of two orphans in a desperate struggle to save their land, Eden from destruction. In order to save Eden though, one of them needs to travel to the world of Belkhyde to uncover the reasons behind the fate of their land, while the other must stay behind on Eden to try to delay its impending doom. With unique abilities specific to each character, players must cleverly switch between the two to aid each other’s cause.
Atelier Iris 2 is developed by the renowned Japanese software company Gust, who have created a brand new "Active Time Battle System" which now gives players the chance to see who is going to strike first. It also enables characters to enter "break mode," which magnifies hits and allows attacks to be strung together to unleash some serious damage. Take a blow from your enemy however, and you could be knocked into the "break zone," making you vulnerable to chained attacks and much bigger damage. Charge attacks also enable characters to pull off truly spectacular attacks, depending upon the skills that individual has developed.
This release also benefits from the inclusion of more powerful monsters, allowing for even more thrilling battles. With tougher enemies, players will be forced to approach battles more strategically (deciding whether to try and end the battle quickly or take it slowly and heal party members), as opposed to relying on sheer brute force to get through the encounters.
DVD.co.uk have this game available for £12.99.
