Ones to Watch on PSP and PS3 for March 2008

God of War: Chains of Olympus will hit retail on March 4th and is already leaving a trail of ecstatic critics behind it. Not far behind will be the PSP Store release of flOw on March 6th which has the distinction of being thought less of because the controls are more precise without tilt being available on the PSP. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII won’t be a slouch when it comes to the United States on the 25th, either. Is that not enough for you? Go back and check out the demo for Patapon, and if you like it buy it for just 20 clams before the price goes up.
On the big screen we’ll get Rocketmen from Capcom as a downloadable game from the Store on March 6th and the new EA franchise Army of Two coming in on the 4th followed by some sequels. I’m not one for sports games, but James tells me the MLB 08: The Show demo on the PS3 was excellent so I’ll mention it here for sports fans. Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds appears on the 18th alongside a sequel to one of my favorite games of 2006 with Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I also have Dark Sector on my radar which seemed to get some praise from the 1UpShow crew when they took a look at it not too long ago.
Which will come out on top? On the PSP my money is on Kratos. On the PS3, with a still loyal and dedicated fan base playing Rainbow Six Vegas online, I’m going with Vegas 2 followed by Army of Two if EA delivers on the promise of great co-op gunplay and Hot Shots Golf which probably doesn’t break many rules in that series and will still be fun to play. James tells me that you can walk all around the course and goof off in voice chat while you play online, but for me the key thing will be whether or not you can unlock things when playing multiplayer online as well as single player offline.
