This week marks the beginning of March and gamers are in for quite the treat.

Gamers have been leery about the next generation of consoles due to the lack of games, however there are plenty of games coming out to keep everyone occupied until more triple A games come out.
Episode 2 of Telltale Games’ “The Walking Dead: Season 2” is dropping March 4. This is the second part of the sequel to one of the highest rated games last year, “The Walking Dead: Season 1.”

The parts are released in episodic form as players follow the story of Clementine, one of the main characters from the last game. At this rate the season should conclude by the end of the summer.
“South Park: The Stick of Truth” is finally releasing on March 4 after much controversy.
The game has been pushed back multiple times to make people question if it was even going to come out, but it has been finished and is coming out.

It is a turn-based strategy game centered on the “South Park” universe and characters.
“Titanfall” and “Dark Souls 2” will be arriving on March 11.

“Titanfall” is one of the most anticipated games of this year, exclusive to the PC and Xbox systems. The game is multiplayer only and focused on first-person shooter combat with giant robots that are controlled by the player. This will be an easy contender for game of the year.

“Dark Souls 2” is the much anticipated sequel to “Dark Souls,” the notoriously difficult game that RPG fans have come to have a love/hate relationship with.

The game promises to be just as difficult if not more than its predecessor.

“Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeros” comes March 18. It is the newest installment of the “Metal Gear” series and is the prequel to the upcoming game “Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain,” which is expected in 2015.

“Final Fantasy X & X-2 HD” is coming on the 18 as well. It is a remake of the popular PS2 titles “Final Fantasy X” and “Final Fantasy X-2,” arguably two of the best “Final Fantasy” titles to date.
The expansion to the popular “Diablo III” is expected to come out March 25. “Diablo III: Reaper of Souls” is going to expand the game and add a new playable character class.

There is plenty coming out to keep gamers occupied until the fall rolls around with all its games.
What is great is that there seems to be a title coming for every type of gamer, so the real question is what will you be playing?
