"Funny - that tumultuous storm looks a lot like March 16th! ARES!*"
March is another lively one, but PS3 owners get the edge as Kratos finally makes his next-gen presence felt in God of War III. Also coming is the ridiculously long in development Final Fantasy XIII, and for the first time, X-Box owners get to share in the fun (albeit with 3 discs of content, an 18 gig optional install and inferior graphics, but who’s complaining?) EA’s first volley in the war against Call of Duty, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is also on store shelves right now, and it’s a doozy! The Pokemon train keeps on a-rollin, and there’s even a bit of love for PC gamers. Also, March 16th looks insane. OHMIGOD! That’s a Dragon Age: Origins expansion! Sorry Kratos, sorry chick with pink hair who stars in Final Fantasy XIII, i’ve got darkspawn to slay.

I’ve got Battlefield: BC2 spinning now, and God of War III and Final Fantasy XIII are musts, but it’s Dragon Age: Awakenings that i’m really looking forward to. What are you buyin’?
*=It’s always been an inside joke with us that Kratos ends every sentence by screaming “ARES!” at the top of his lungs. We also thought it would be awesome if Oscar Winner Linda Hunt narrated our day to day lives…

A descendent of the popular arcade game, GTI Club Supermini Festa! is a fast-paced racing game that hurdles players across global terrains in mini-customizable cars. Gamers must speed through tight bends, the back roads of urban sprawls, up steep mountain roads, down cavernous caves, and tackle a wide variety of driving conditions as they race to the finish line for the checkered flag.

Dave, Tim, and Erich run through the games they’ve been playing—including Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, ‘Splosion Man, Dante’s Inferno, and Street Fighter IV—before looking ahead to big (and little) titles on the horizon. Dave wonders whether he should try Heavy Rain, Tim wonders whether he’ll be able to find a PS3 before God of War III comes out, and Erich wonders whether the Xbox Live Arcade Game Room will be worth downloading. No Symposium Ad Nauseum this week, but we have a very good excuse. At least, I think we do. You’ll have to listen to find out.
Make your own excuses in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing us at feedback@pixelverdict.com.

The Charge:
Hunter. Survivor. Prey.
Opening Statement:
Everyone’s favorite extra-terrestrial Cuisinarts are back, and as per usual, mankind is caught in the middle. Can Rebellion, the studio behind the original PC classic, manage to get it right this time around?
Facts of the Case:
The Weyland-Yutani Corporation has found something beneath the surface of BG-386, a discovery so valuable that even Karl Bishop-Weyland (Lance Henriksen, of course!) has taken an active role in the excavation. When the planet side colony goes silent, the USS Marlow is dispatched on a search and rescue mission. The Marlow however isn’t the only ship in the stars above Freya’s Prospect; a group of Predators has made one hell of an explosive entrance. They’ve got some time to kill, and more than enough prey (of the soft meat and hard meat varieties) to keep them occupied.

The Charge
Go to Hell.
Opening Statement
Hey, you might have heard that this game is a lot like God of War. And, well, it is. But is there more to Dante than timed button-presses and orb collection?

Konami has picked up the North American publishing rights to the hack-and-slash sequel and, frankly, I’m overjoyed. I really enjoyed the first game, nonsense story and painful voice acting and all. Typically, the Dynasty Warriors formula isn’t my bag, but for some reason I really latched onto the mayhem of Ninety-Nights. Something about wiping out 100s of dudes with a single movie is really appealing.
The game, an Xbox 360 exclusive, is bound for this summer. Gameplay video after the jump.

Oh sweet Zombie Jesus. Rock of the Dead, a new game being developed by Epicenter looks like a glorious mash-up between Typing of the Dead, the beloved Dreamcast typing/zombie shooter and Rock Band. Throw Neil Patrick Harris into the mix and it’s a perfect game already. No, I don’t even need to play it. In my head, right now, it is perfect. *sniff*

IGN has the scoop on this one. More after the jump.
