Here’s my selection of games for March 2009!
Halo Wars – March 3rd (Metacritic 82/100)
Bring It On Son!
Why? Because it’s the Halo Universe gone RTS. Sure, it isn’t Halo 3 or crazy competitive online, but it’s a nice change of pace and gives you a different perespective (one might even call it more intellectual).
Resident Evil 5 – March 13, 2009 (Metacritic 87/100)
Zombies Dem Bumbaclot!
Why? If you have played any Resident Evil game in the past, you probably already know that killing zombies and doing some puzzle solving makes for an excellent action/adventure franchise. Besides, Wesker is back in this game, along with all the crazy plot twists and virus mutations you can handle.
Phantasy Star Portable – March 3, 2009 (79/100 avg. so far)
Size Matters!
Why? Because good RPG’s are scarce now a days, and I believe in supporting SEGA, especially since the excellent Valkyria Chronicles on PS3. The Phantasy Star Universe is rich and filled with adventure. That and you’ll have a reason to dust off your PSP.
Resistance Retribution – March 17, 2009 (Metacritic 83/100)
Viva La French Fries!
Why? Take te Resistance to your handlheld system. Many are saying this is the most graphically impressive PSP game, others like me aren’t saying that, but are saying that it’s solid shooting gameplay and you should try it out. The demo is available now if you want to try it out first. 
Guitar Hero Metallica – March 29, 2009 (No Reviews Yet)
Rock The Fuck Out!
Why? Yes, I know that the Aerosmith spin-off wasn’t as much content as expected (I beat it in 4 hours total), but the Metallica version is going to have at least 52 tracks (at last count). And many of them are by other bands, which is refreshing. I will advise that you try to find the best price on this one or wait a month till the price drops. As for the game itself, I have no doubt doubt that it’s gonna be fun.

I agree with you picks, except for Phantasy Star Portable. I think you should switch it out with Empire Total war, but if you don’t play PC games then I would agree 100% with you March picks.

I’ve heard Empire Total War is an excellent PC game, but like you said, I’m not a huge PC gamer. Although, I did build a very nice Quad Core computer with 8gb ram, and 2 750gb Baracuda HDD’s. Maybe some day I’ll play more than just Mass Effect and Crysis on my PC.

Resident Evil 5 looks sweet! Can’t wait. Good pick.
