TBB Summons the “Games of March”!
crafted by: PaulNot since pre-history has there been such an exciting Q1 for video games. Mass Effect 2, BioShock 2, Heavy Rain have all been released to critical acclaim and that's just in the first two months of 2010. Of course, as you've probably read a few times, this was the result of the mass-migration of AAA-titles out of the Modern Warfare 2 pre-Holiday blast radius and into 2010. But it looks like March is where the AAA-ness is going to reach critical mass.
Alex and Paul give our their two cents on the big and less-than-big titles coming out in March.
March 1
Mega Man 10 (3/11 PSN, 3/31 XBLA)
Paul: It breaks my heart that Mega Man 10 isn't the Mega Man X crossover storyline that it should've been. I also wish that new Mega Man games had lush sprites - now that they can get away with these retro remakes, Mega Man is just gonna fall into the same pattern that made people hate Mega Man 4-6.
Alex: Mega Man 10? When did Mega Man 7-9 come out?? I'm kidding, but seriously, I don't really care. The last (non-Legend's) Mega Man game I owned was Mega Man 6, and you all need to shut up because that game was great! Centaur Man is classic. I tried the Mega Man 9 demo and died jumping over the first pit about 6 times. You can tell me I suck if you want, but really, a game design based around memorizing level layouts - like a Simon Says with slightly better graphics - is bad game design.
