This is the new way things are, and you've got to adjust or die. It's March, and you're getting games like Final Fantasy XIII, God of War III and Command & Conquer 4. Truly, it's a glut of electric pleasure, but it's also a little more financial strain then you're likely used to this time of year.
Will you be able to withstand the torrential downpour of pleasure? Read on and plan your strategy!

I have lost interest because I have played every Final Fantasy except 2 and 11. 13 doesn't look to be that interesting to me as more has been revealed. Granted, I can not pass final judgment till I have played it or even a demo.
I probably will pick it up or rent it down down the line, just nothing I am excited about now, which is very odd since I was very hyped for this game at one time.

I understand your pain of losing the interest in FFXIII. I don't even think it's a result of losing interest in the game so much as the fact that Japanese RPG's aren't nearly as impressive as the western RPG's nowadays. As a former, hardcore, ridiculously-obsessed JRPG nerd I can attest that I do not give a crap for FFXIII and my interest for Resonance of Fate is about the same. Japan needs to step it up for games now, western game development is really much better story-wise and gameplay-wise. It's sad but true. D:
Plus FFXIII is ridiculously linear and after spending that many years on a game and not even having the ability to revisit places you've been turns it into a rail-RPG which is lame. Viva DA:O Awakening ftw. As well as renting the other stuff. I'll play through FFXIII, Resonance of Fate, Yakuza 3 and GoW 3 but I will not buy except for the Awakening expansion. :D

Soul Silver. Actually gonna have to really get moving in that game if i want to make some good headway before Monster Hunter 3 the following month.

Ill be getting FFXIII just because I managed to get it for $38, but Im not really looking forward to it.
GOWIII on the other hand, is going to kick my ass.

Definitely GoW 3 and the Dragon Age expansion. Hopefully I'll also have enough to get Infinite Space and Metro. Still, very good March.

Soul Silver for me. I got some childhood nostalgia to catch up to.
I'll give Red Steel 2 a try, but I'm keeping my anticipation grounded for that title.

This is 1 of the biggest months in game releases I've ever seen.
I can't wait for God of War III!!! The 16th can't get here soon enough!

I'll look at The Show, BFBC2, and FFXIII.

GoW3, FFXIII, Resonance...after I finish my backlog (in about half a year?)
I think you have mislabeled Metro as PS3 in the gallery, or I've missed out on the news of it coming to PS3 also.

i was thinking of buying resonance of fate....but then i played star ocean 4 and infinite undiscovery, and pretty much lost all faith in tri-ace as a current-gen developer.

I'll probably wait for a demo too. But it looks good in screenshots so far.
Hey i just realized that most genres are covered this month: FPS, Strategy, RPG, Sports, Post-Apocalyptic Horror, Sandbox... And there must be some puzzle game coming out on PSN or XBL, like every month. Something for everyone.

There is a demo, if you get a Japanese PS3 account. Don't need to know Japanese to play it either.
I'm more stoked for this than XIII.

Nothing in that gallery for me. That just means more time for Mega Man 10!!
Maybe if I have time I'll import Project Zero 4 and try out the fan patch.

Hell yeah! Picked up BC2 today, and I'm having a blast. Played about 3 hours of rush and conquest. Being able to squad up with guys I already know really makes the game for me, as I'm very shy on headset when I'm with strangers. Also, playing as a medic or engineer is great for people like me that don't play competitive MP very often. I might not get as many kills, but I can still be a valuable asset to the team.
