Bad Company 2, FF XIII and God of War 3 the clear favourites for gamers this months, with prediction that God of War 3, the highly anticipated title to continue the series will take March’s most successful game. But also rejoice for PC fans as the 16th holds great promise, not only to release the new Command & Conquer, but to finally have the opportunity to take the creed to the PC, Assassins Creed will finally be released on the PC, as a fellow PC gamer this is very exciting indeed.

Indeed this year has yet to disappoint gamers, to success the mass release of grand titles at the end of 2009, 2010 has risen right from the very start and still has yet to dip. The future of gaming never looks bleak.

Here are the details on Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame, from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment:
“Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame fully immerses fans into the vivid animated world of the successful TV series where kids can play as Batman or together with family and friends in two-player co-op mode. Players can choose from iconic characters ROBIN, GREEN LANTERN, BLUE BEETLE, along with drop-in heroes such as AQUAMAN to help solve puzzles and fight foes.

It’s interesting to know that the Wii and Ds get their own release and will have crossover connectivity whichwill enable an unlocking of a playable BAT-MITE for both game platforms.

Those anxiously awaiting the release of Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, will be pleased to know (myself included), that a demo has been released on the Xbox 360 Marketplace. At the moment the demo is only available to Gold subscribers, with it becoming available to everyone in the next few days. The demo is 1.3GB.

You can choose between Sonic or Banjo Kazooie in the demo, with one map open.  While it may be great for Sonic fans, it is very much like Mario Kart and Crash Kart Racing, with power ups to collect which give you items to throw at other players, or power ups which give you a speed boost, or shield.

Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing will be released on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii (with an optional wheel), DS/DSi and on PC. American release date is 23rd of February, while Europe will get the game on the 26th.

SouthPeak Games has announced that Dementium II will be released in North America on February 16, 2010 and in Europe on March 5, 2010. I gotta say after playing the first one on my DS I am not looking forward to this one. Not because it’s bad but because it’s creepy!

Here’s a summary of Dementium II from SouthPeak Games:

“Dementium II continues to push the horror experience by melding FPS action and puzzles with a story and ambience that will have players on the edge of their seats. New wrinkles to gameplay, all new weapons, dual wielding items, improved interface and save system, and mind-boggling environments promise to engage gamers and spawn fear the likes of which some never thought possible.”

I  can’t wait to see what rating this game is going to get.
