We’re now at the end of 2013, and video game releases have slowed down dramatically. However, that will soon change in a major way.
March 2014 is full of epic game releases. Some of them have been anticipated for years, while others have won awards prior to release. Made better, they span many genres and have been developed by extremely competent studios.
See the gallery below for eight reasons you should be excited for March 2014.

Titanfall
