Games of March 2010



March had been a busy month for console gamers due to the sheer number of releases. I picked up six titles this month alone.

Surprisingly, I managed to complete most of them at least once (BFBC2's campaign doesn't count! It's strictly multiplayer for me.) I only have have FFXIII and Resonance of Fate left on my backlog. Thankfully, the upcoming months' high profile releases are spread further apart so I can catch a breather.

Just thought I would sum up the games in semi-witty one-liners!

BattleField Bad Company 2: Tactical squad-based multiplayer awesomeness. Until the next big thing arrives.
Dragon Age Origins - Awakening: More of the same but also a tad lacking. A worthy expansion to my favorite Western RPG of 2009.
Resonance of Fate: Very unique JRPG with a challenging and never-before-seen combat system.
God of War III: Feels like more of the same but the angry man series never fails to impress.
Heavy Rain: Plays like a movie. Plot twist cheated my feelings. :(
Final Fantasy XIII: Graphics so good that I sometimes can't tell cut-scene from in-game. Excellent presentation. Highly repetitive linear gameplay.

Sometimes I wonder if I should create a separate gaming blog on Wordpress where I can post about the games I play in greater detail.

Oh and before I forgot... there's something about that little Chocobo Chick!



So cute!!!

"Dragon Age Awakening" (Xbox360) need to buy disc one meh? I thought it is buy DLC on Xbox live. Any advantage when you buy it on a disc? Do reply.

It comes as a disc and DLC. I actually feel that the DLC is more convenient since you just access it via Origins but I got the retail disc at $56 (it's cheaper than 3200 pts).
